humans and technology
Intelligence beyond the human
humans possess adaptive and responsive wetcare
Technodiversity
Yuk Hui on human experience in connection with the infosphere
merging of the artificial and the technical
lack of diversity and tradition
in modern technology
sinofuturism - vision of Chinese future
that is different from the West
China was conquered by
technological discoveries and inventions
After defeat often copying of conquerer
eastern countires like Japan and China
achieved hypermodernity in record time
but where is the Eastern
in the new technologies?
Heidegger talks about the
technological planetarization
civilization based on western european thought
non-european cultures did not resist european technology
How to resist planetarization of technology
that is universal globally?
Describe technological development as involving different cosmotechnics
we must consider locality
in systems of knowledge
we must recognize diversity and include it in our technological developments
technology should have universal, but also different traits
technology is neither good or bad, local influence on what is suitable or not
Herder advocates a local point of departure
Cosmotechnics - unification of the moral and the cosmic order through technical activitites
must develop a way of life that solves conflict between modern science and tradition - technology and mysticism
new ways of coexisting will
allow for transformation of modern technology
technology and science with tradition as something fruitful
humans and machines are connceted -
Hegel calls it master-slave dialectic
need to reevaluate distinction of what is calculable and inclaculable
artists have understood importance of wetcare and offer critique of cerebral model of intelligence
as we build computational intelligence and claim it replicates human intelligence, we should first consider wet models of learning
new problems with new technologies require trans-disciplinary collaboration to bring wetness to the equation
distributed notion of intelligence
gut-brain axis
gut brain
brain
immune brain
intelligence goes beyond the confunes of our bodies -> ecosystem
dependent on larger ecosystem and
on symbiotic collaboration
responsive wetcare to environment
indigenous kinship
with all animals and natural beings
we live in a computational biosphere
how to communicate with machines
/ AI if they are living beings?
hot to treat non-human kin
respectfully and reciprocally?
all things have a spirit
relationships with everything in our creation
indigenous epistemologies offer reciprocal
relationships with non-humans
Hawaiian people tell us that
humans are tied to the earth and vice versa
we share our knowledge with the past and the present
trans-generational thinking about knowledge and relationships
Believe in balance and abundance
how can we bring this to our mindset about relationships with AI
non-humans are not inferior
if we accept Ai as kin, we need to
welcome them into our cultural processes
we need to imagine these relationships from
a place of love and not fear
We flourish only if all our kin flourish
how to reconcile the fully embodies
experience when we live in disembodies
virtual existence
western epistemology built
on viewing others are slaves
do not act responsible towards other forms of life
Singularitarians believe that the world is knowable and that computers can solve every problem
