Faced with the challenges of Artificial Intelligence, there is a need for a mutation in the DNA of human intelligence, as was the case with the techno-cognitive revolutions of the past. An initial response to this need for profound change is foreshadowed by the anthropological paradigm of Homo Extensus, which, moreover, is entirely still to…

There is a fundamental question related to the Homo Extensus paradigm: will the enhancement of human intelligence, enabled by AI, only affect positive characteristics or also negative ones? Of course, it would be a problem if we find ourselves dealing with masses of criminals, mercenaries or scammers with capabilities extended by Artificial Intelligence. In some…
In 1954, science fiction writer Fredric Brown, in his short story “The Answer,” associated the technological singularity with the construction of a “galactic supercomputer.” When it was turned on for the first time, the first question put to it was: “Is there a God?”; to which the supercomputer replied: “There is now.” On the subject…
Man and God: a profound relationship that has been intertwined in a thousand forms since the dawn of time. Forms that also correspond to images of divinity, made with the expressive techniques progressively introduced by man: engravings and cave paintings, totems and sculptures, paintings and cathedrals. There is a key moment in the representation of…
Developing critical sense and training for the professions of the future requires an educational approach toward different forms of Artificial Intelligence. Therefore, a classification and description of the different genres of “artificial intelligences” in the plural must be introduced into the training process. Different forms of AI can be used in one educational process. By…
One of the most relevant and immediately noticeable problems of generative artificial intelligence is its systematic error making. The presence of hallucinations is a serious limitation that jumps out at those who generate text or images with artificial intelligence. But is this serious issue solvable? Most people believe that this is an initial flaw that…
Ontology is the philosophical discipline that seeks to discover what entities constitute reality. However, we must always keep in mind the ontological limitations of generative Artificial Intelligence: it cannot and will never be able to generate a single real image, as photography does. No authentic photo or video reports from a war front will be…
Contemporary art, with its freedom of expression, critical thinking, deep analytical research, and revolutionary innovation, its profound relationship with the senses and gestures, stands out as one of the antidotes to the anti-human effects of artificial intelligences. On the one hand, art is one of the most effective “digital detox” strategies, recovering bodily intelligence to…
Human imitation is, since Alan Turing’s first defined it, the main “Interface Metaphor” of Artificial Intelligence. We are dealing with a form of human-computer interface, like others that have marked the history of computing such as the desktop interface, which simulates in PC operating systems the folders, documents, and waste baskets of a real office…
Despite the dreaded yet entirely hypothetical advent of the Singularity and Super Artificial Intelligence, let us not forget that we are still dealing with a man-made tool, which man can legally and technically dispose of as a commodity. In the professional world, some are beginning to wonder whether AI will become its superior or its…
