The AI Mirror 读书分享

The AI Mirror: How to Reclaim Our Humanity in an Age of Machine Thinking——美国哲学家，知名技术哲学学者，前谷歌伦理学家Shallon Vallor 2024年作品。这本书从2022年6月份Blake Lemoine事件谈起，回应贯穿2023的Existential Risk、AGI的话题讨论，旨在用AI Mirror的隐喻，重新检阅人与机器的关系。书中大力提及了奥尔特加的技术哲学理论、孔子的实践智慧，以及胡塞尔、列维纳斯等哲学家的伦理学思想，由此追寻人类的集体疗愈和繁荣。

此次活动，主讲人将结合一些AI技术操作上的知识，阐明作者的观点，引发大家思考，并讲解书中哲学理论，呈现行文字句，带大家与好的文字和思想相遇。

The Metaphor of AI Mirror

• The Claim: AI, as a technology, is not something "other", but a mirror of our humanity.
• AI照见了什么？关于人类社会的历史和现状
• AI无法照见了什么？来自哲学家胡塞尔和列维纳斯的启示

AGI and Longerism

"It tells more about ourselves than it does about technology. What is behind the expectation of genocidal intent is that we have seen such intentions in humans, who are intelligent."

Existential Risk

"The threat to humanity from AI systems is indeed existential – a different kind of “existential” than what’s being marketed today by the merchants of AI doom."

AI and Art

"AI tools will never be able to direct or replace our own creative moral agency."

The Companionship Chatbot

"... flatten and occlude our experience of one another, by projecting images of love and mutual care that have been stripped of their emotional and material depths."

AI Ethics

• The shrinking space of reasoning
• AI and the bootstrapping problem.
• Confucianism and Mutual Care.

AI and Philosophy of Technology

• Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset: The most basic impulse of the human personality is carrying out a lifelong task of auto-fabrication: literally, the task of making ourselves. Technology is not something “other”. To be an artifact thing is to be of the human-made and human-chosen.

Others

• Strong AI vs Weak AI
• Bullshiting AI
