Aion. Journal of Philosophy & Science invites submissions for an issue dedicated to the philosophical exploration of the theme Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The emergence of AI is not merely a technological event; it is a transformation of the conditions under which intelligence appears and operates. For the first time, we are facing artifacts that seem to be intelligent, capable of solving problems, learning, deciding, creating, reasoning, thinking. For the first time, we face artefacts that do not simply extend human capacities but seem to rival them, displace them, or reconfigure them.
Intelligence — long considered a crucial trait of the human — now becomes a property of systems that are neither biological nor conscious, neither embodied nor mortal. This raises questions that cut across metaphysics, ethics, epistemology, political philosophy, and the philosophy of mind. Questions that challenge the inherited distinctions between the natural and the artificial, the human and the technical, the organic and the computational.
This issue aims to bring together diverse perspectives that illuminate the conceptual, epistemological, ethical, political, artistical and metaphysical questions raised by the problematic coexistence — and possible conflict or convergence — of human and artificial forms of intelligence.
