AI's Deep Dive: Redefining Art, Embodiment, and Human Creativity
The classic science fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey offers a potent thought experiment on the nature of intelligence. When the AI, HAL 9000, is shut down, it appears to "die." This scene, when re-examined, challenges our very assumptions about what it means to be alive and to possess knowledge. N. Katherine Hayles, a prominent theorist, argues that information acquisition and knowledge are deeply tied to a physical form — a human body. However, the rise of advanced machine learning pushes us to consider disembodiment beyond this human-centric view.
