Book part: Outing Artificial Intelligence. Reckoning with Turing Tests
Author(s):
Abstract
Various anthropocentric fallacies have hobbled the
development of artificial intelligence as a broadly
based and widely understood set of technologies.
Alan Turing’s famous “imitation game” was an ingenious
thought experiment but also ripe for fixing the
thresholds of machine cognition according to its
apparent similarity to a false norm of exemplary
human intelligence. To disavow that fragile self-refection
is, however, easier than composing alternative
roles for human sapience, industry, and agency along
more heterogeneous spectrums. As various forms of
machine intelligence become increasingly infrastructural,
the implications of this difficulty are geopolitical
as well as philosophical.
