Scientific technicity. Technology. Philosophy. Artificial intelligence.Abstract
How can philosophy perform its role using the resources of artificial intelligence (AI) without disintegrating into various information technology procedures, and without becoming standardized, informative, scientific, and amorphous? We will reflect on this question using the Heideggerian concepts of anticipation and scientific technicity, and hypothesize that in scientific technicity the character of anticipation is transformed into the characters of predictability, homogenization, and standardization of knowledge. On this basis, we aim to show how the behavior of the algorithms which underlie the operation of the internet, of AI and social networks in contemporary technology can be philosophically conceptualized, and discuss how philosophy can be complementary to those algorithms and use AI creatively to think innovatively about the issues it raises.
