Don't Trust the Promise of Artificial Intelligence
Before we create a new intelligence in our image, we have to reconsider the fundamental lie that enables human civilization: that nature and culture are separate and distinct, rather than neighbors on the same continuum. At 1:17:00 in the video I refer to a Bruno Latour quote which I think is fundamental to this debate. The full quote is this: "Instead of two powers, one hidden and indisputable (nature), and the other disputable and despised (politics), we will have two different tasks in the same collective. The first task will be to answer the question: How many humans and nonhumans are to be taken into account? The second will be to answer the most difficult of all questions: Are you ready, and at the price of what sacrifice, to live the good life together?
