Can generative artificial intelligence be considered a cognitive subject? An analytic analysis
This paper examines whether contemporary generative artificial intelligence (GAI), especially large language models (LLMs), can be regarded as a “cognitive subject” in the epistemic sense relevant to the production and endorsement of knowledge claims. GAI systems increasingly participate in writing, research, and decision-making workflows and can display striking competence in information processing and task-directed problem solving. Yet, the the…
Democracia, epistocracia e o papel da inteligência artificial na melhoria das decisões democráticas
Este artigo examina criticamente os desafios epistêmicos das democracias contemporâneas e propõe o uso ético da inteligência artificial (IA) como meio de fortalecer práticas democráticas informadas, alinhando-as a certos ideais da epistocracia. Partindo da crítica clássica de Platão à democracia e da defesa contemporânea da epistocracia por autores como Jason Brennan, discutem-se as limitações cognitivas que afetam a qualidade das decisões políti…
Does artificial intelligence exhibit basic fundamental subjectivity? A neurophilosophical argument
Does artificial intelligence (AI) exhibit consciousness or self? While this question is hotly debated, here we take a slightly different stance by focusing on those features that make possible both, namely a basic or fundamental subjectivity. Learning from humans and their brain, we first ask what we mean by subjectivity. Subjectivity is manifest in the perspectiveness and mineness of our experience which, ontologically, can be traced to a point …
Phenomenology and artificial intelligence
The new developments in the field of artificial intelligence raise many different philosophical questions that can profoundly change our thinking about various mental concepts, such as what it means to be a conscious subject, how perception works, how humans interact with their environment via their bodies, and so on (cf.Andler, 2006;Froese & Ziemke, 2009).Interestingly, the recent 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics Award was attributed John J. Hopfield…
Crossing the Trust Gap in Medical AI
In this paper, we argue that one way to approach what is known in the literature as the “Trust Gap” in Medical AI is to focus on explanations from an Explainable AI (xAI) perspective. Against the current framework on xAI – which does not offer a real solution – we argue for a pragmatist turn, one that focuses on understanding how we provide explanations in Traditional Medicine (TM), composed by human agents only. Following this, explanations have…
