The Centre for Philosophy of
Sciences of the University of Lisbon (CFCUL) is glad to announce
the first 2022 session of its Permanent Seminar of
Philosophy of Sciences:
23 February, 16h-18h (Lisbon time)
Online (Zoom)
Abstract
How do artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in
synthetic and generative media using avatars via platforms
(recommending, targeting, and personalization) pose
research challenges for human and social sciences,
including ethics/aesthetics and power/sovereignty (Seeman
2021) and epistemic and diagrammatic hegemony/
decentralization issues?
How are AI Avatars tools used for knowledge acquisition,
research, and economic and power-laden interests of
intended behavior, affect, experience, and interaction on
the one side, including cultural outcomes, such as
operated by algorithmic synthetic media, programmed
sociality, and its mimetic play aesthetics and
dramaturgies of technology, and on the other hand foster
the possibility or not for us to become other by
technology?
Hacking is understood as a performative technology
approach in which probing, rehearsals, and
investigation in a sense initially proposed by P.R.Samson
(Levy 2010), of an unconventional application of
technology may enhance the potential of human experience
by multiplying its energy, by transforming its habitual
uses to open up new perspectives of interacting with and
becoming an “Other.” What are cultural and technological
changes envisioned with AI Avatars as Artefactors?
And what changes in aesthetics when our reality is
expanded by digital media such as AI Avatars and becomes a
different one? Can artifacts play or mimic human actors,
or are they necessarily staged in technological as-if
dramaturgies? For instance, what are philosophical issues
of sociality, synthetic-human faciality,
and social co-presence of AI-Avatar Faciality2F
encounters? How do uncanniness and anthropomorphic
design strategies affect human self-understanding,
dialogic social co-presence, and commenting on what makes
us human?
To start to answer, we will in a first scene call Hans
Blumenberg {reality; automation; pensiveness; detour},
Roger Caillois (play, mimesis; travesty;
camouflage; intimidation; hyperbole}; Hans Ulrich
Gumbrecht (our broad “presence”{unsere breite
Gegenwart}) and Alexander Kluge {commenting as thinking}
onto the dramaturgic stage of a performative philosophy of
technology.
