The Automated Self

A Philosophical Study on the Evolution of Artificial Intelligence and Its Normative Challenges

Description

The Automated Self explores meta-theoretical issues in the philosophy of artificial intelligence, combining it with themes from philosophy of science and technology, media and communication studies, and ethics. Balsemão-Pires provides an integrated view of contemporary problems of AI including the theoretical premises and discussions on the meaning, functioning and social uses of cognitive machines, the recent ethical and legal challenges on privacy, interpretability, and data ownership, passing through a careful discussion of the media embedment of the new technologies, and the uses of algorithms in the production and consumption of art.
