Existentialists Wanted
The philosophy of AI currently centers around moral themes and ethical concerns. Despite the fact that AI is an interesting and consequential topic for many subdomains of philosophy, it seems that philosophical analyses of AI are taken to be relevant by the wider research community only when they ultimately serve the goal of addressing AI’s ethical and societal implications. Accordingly, philosophers conducting research on AI often seek to develo…
Making AI Work
In 1930, critical theorist Max Horkheimer described modern society as a skyscraper, in which each level represents a different social layer (1978, 66–67). Horkheimer explained that the top of the skyscraper is occupied by the capitalists, right below them are wealthy landowners and those with powerful jobs, followed by professionals like professors and engineers. Further down the tower are craftsmen, grocers, and farmers. Down the bottom, “the un…
Rethinking Automation and the Future of Work with Hannah Arendt
Recent technological developments have given rise to debates about automation and the future of work. These debates touch on concerns about the availability, nature, and meaningfulness of jobs in the present and near future. The aim of this article is to show that Hannah Arendt’s phenomenology of labor, work, and action can improve current debates about automation and the future of work. First of all, an analysis of Arendt’s critique of modern so…
Simon Lindgren – A critical theory of AI
Some may know ‘Critical Theory’ as a social school of thought that originated in Frankfurt, Germany, in the 1920s. Important Frankfurt School critical theorists are for instance Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse, and Habermas. However, a broader understanding of the term allows us to include a wide range of approaches and theories under the header of ‘critical theory’ – from poststructuralism and post-Marxism to feminism and postcolonialism. In his rec…
The Desirability of Automizing Labor
The debate about the impact and desirability of automizing labor is one that emerges alongside every major technological development. In recent years, attention for the potential ethical and social implications of automizing labor increased once again, in response to the successes and promises of artificial intelligence (AI) and other modern technologies. The aim of this article is, first and foremost, to introduce the reader to recent work on th…
The Struggle for AI’s Recognition
AI systems have often been found to contain gender biases. As a result of these gender biases, AI routinely fails to adequately recognize the needs, rights, and accomplishments of women. In this article, we use Axel Honneth’s theory of recognition to argue that AI’s gender biases are not only an ethical problem because they can lead to discrimination, but also because they resemble forms of misrecognition that can hurt women’s self-development an…
Why AI Ethics Is a Critical Theory
The ethics of artificial intelligence (AI) is an upcoming field of research that deals with the ethical assessment of emerging AI applications and addresses the new kinds of moral questions that the advent of AI raises. The argument presented in this article is that, even though there exist different approaches and subfields within the ethics of AI, the field resembles a critical theory. Just like a critical theory, the ethics of AI aims to diagn…
