Leveraging teleological explanation to support general-purpose AI assessment
AI technologies are ubiquitous, manifesting in various forms and applications. Nowadays, many of them are presented as being general purpose , though this sometimes translates into having unclear purposes . Within this landscape, establishing normative criteria for the functioning of (some of) these artefacts has grown increasingly complex. In this work, we advocate the use of teleological explanation as a suitable ally in addressing the challeng…
The bewitching AI
We investigate the ‘bewitchment’ of understanding interactions between humans and systems based on large language models (LLMs) inspired by Wittgenstein’s later view on language. This framework is particularly apt for analyzing human-LLM interaction as it treats understanding as a public phenomenon manifested in observable communicative practices, rather than as a mental or computational state—an approach especially valuable given LLMs’ inherent …
Hybrid collective intentionality
The theory of collective agency and intentionality is a flourishing field of research, and our understanding of these phenomena has arguably increased greatly in recent years. Extant theories, however, are still ill-equipped to explain certain aspects of collective intentionality. In this article we draw attention to two such underappreciated (and intertwined) aspects: the failure of the intentional states of collectives to supervene on the inten…
