Societies in the automation era – Idees
Artificial Intelligence is a technology used to plan for the future. Planification implies intelligibility, calculability, and systematization. The future as a concept has been, in occidental cultures, closely tied to monotheism and the development of a linear narrative about societies, with a predicted end of the world, where individuals end up either in paradise or hell. This was a radical change from the narratives of classic cultures, where there was no notion of the past or prehistory, but rather a narrative of a cultural, god-given origin similar to the present. It did not anticipate change in the manner of future narratives. Future narratives see the time to come as a time when evolution happens, when neither clothes nor context nor social habits remain the same. With the development of Protestantism and capitalism, the future became more than a point in time when the story would end. It became an unwritten point of opportunity to be shaped by human beings.
