Description: Compassionate AI and Artificial Minds
Empathic Machine Intelligence and Artificial Life
As the AI landscape keeps updating itself at the greatest speed, so does the relationship between humans and technology. By paying attention to the autopoietic nature of this relationship, we may work towards building ethical AI systems that respect both the unique particularities of being a human, and the unique emerging qualities that our technology displays as it evolves. I’d like to share some thoughts about how autopoiesis and care, via the pursuit of an ethics of our relationship with technology, can
The term ‘autopoiesis’ – or ‘self-creation’ (from Greek αὐτo- (auto-) ‘self’, and ποίησις (poiesis) ‘creation, production’) was first introduced by Maturana and Varela (1981), describing a system capable of maintaining its own existence within a boundary. This principle highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between self and environment, as well as the dynamic process of self-construction that gives rise to complex organisms (Levin, 2022; Clawson, 2022).
