Professor Celia Cuenca
Carlos M. Madrid Casado closed the series of talks on The Politics and Failures of the Digital Revolution with the lecture «Filosofía de la Inteligencia Artificial» (Pentalfa, Oviedo 2024).
‘Artificial intelligence mobilises philosophical ideas that need to be subjected to a devastating critique. Ideas such as intelligence, reason, mind, man or machine, and myths such as the technological singularity, which announces the advent of super-intelligent robots. But is artificial intelligence a science? Is ChatGPT really intelligent? Do the huge language models understand the meaning of the words they use? Can machines ever replace doctors or flesh-and-blood scientists? Is general artificial intelligence possible without a body? Are algorithms or robots people? Are the ethical regulations ventured by the European Union and other international bodies operational? What geopolitical interests do the big tech giants conceal? Faced with the tsunami of opinions that are poured out on artificial intelligence on a daily basis, Carlos M. Madrid Casado examines a philosophy of artificial intelligence from the coordinates of philosophical materialism’.
