인공지능의 한계와 일반화된 지능의 가능성: 포스트 휴머니즘적 맥락

초록

I point out first that both current artificial intelligence research and the 'realistic' possibility of posthumanism have revealed to us some 'awkward' facts for Descartes as regards his view on the essence of human intelligence, and then investigate its implication. Especially, I claim that recent developments in AI and posthumanism are not just blurring the human-machine boundary, but rather urging us to change our fundamental thoughts about the nature of intelligence in more radical ways. I discuss Turing Test, and argue that it is based on the conception of intelligence as 'mimicking' human intelligence, and therefore inherently problematic in its philosophical implications. Given the limited nature of Turing's practical but limited definition of intelligence, it is no wonder why classical AI research program is widely regarded as having great difficulties in achieving its 'mimicking' goal. In conclusion, I introduce some of recent efforts to understand intelligence in post-human ways, and examine the possibility of more generalized definition of intelligence.
