인공지능 기술이 인간의 인식에 미치는 영향에 대한 고찰 - 빌렘 플루서의 인코딩 개념을 중심으로 = An Epistemological Approach to Artificial Intelligence - Focusing on Vilé́m Flusser‘s Encoding

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Initially driven by the desire to simulate human thinking, artificial intelligence (AI) technology is developing fast thanks to rapid improvement of computer hardware and artificial neural networks. It is generally expected that AI will bring many positive changes to our lives, but at the same time, it is also concerned that superintelligence that humans cannot control might rise and bring about ethical and technical problems. These conflicting views on AI made it one of the hottest research topics in many areas including philosophy. However, AI research in philosophy is still limited to its ethical aspect that studies on AI from various angles are warranted.
This study attempts an epistemological approach to AI from the angle of code transition discussed in the media philosophy by Willem Flusser. As the Industrial Revolution replaced human labor with steam engines and related technologies, AI is replacing human intelligence in the course of the digital revolution today. In this study, the transition of picture codes to letter codes to digital codes and the change in human cognitive abilities from imagination to conceptual thinking to new imagination will be compared in the context of increasingly disappearing or minimizing historicalness.
