This book develops an original theoretical framework for understanding
human-technology relations. The author’s approach, which he calls
technoanalysis, analyzes artificial intelligence based on Freudian
psychoanalysis, biosemiotics, and Latour’s actor-network theory. How
can we communicate with AI to determine shared values and objectives?
And what, ultimately, do we want from machines? These are crucial
questions in our world, where the influence of AI-based technologies
is rapidly growing. Unconscious dynamics influence AI and digital
technology and understanding them is essential to better controlling
AI systems. This book’s unique methodology— which combines
psychoanalysis, biosemiotics, and actor-network theory—reveals a
radical reformulation of the problem of the human mind. Technoanalysis
views the mind as a hybrid network of humans and nonhuman actants in
constant interaction with one another. The author argues that human
unconscious dynamics influence and shape technology, just as
technology influences and shapes human unconscious dynamics. He
proceeds to show how this conception of the relationship between the
unconscious and technology can be applied to social robotics and AI.
Unconscious Networks will appeal to scholars and advanced students
interested in philosophy of technology, philosophy of artificial
intelligence, psychoanalysis, and science and technology studies.
