Frank Pasquale (Cornell U Law) has posted “Discerning Artificial and Authentic Intelligence: Profundity as Depth in Antiqua et Nova” on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
The rise of artificial intelligence challenges institutions to help persons chart a path toward authentic intelligence. There are both objective (the real) and subjective (the sincere) dimensions of authenticity. By advancing awareness of reality and cultivation of sincerity as the foundations of authentic intelligence, Antiqua et Nova helps us move beyond the fetishization of artifacts at the core of TESCREAL and AGI ideologies, toward profound insight into the unique value of the human person. Cognitive virtues of seriousness, grounding, and wisdom, rooted in human experience, all support deep thought. Antiqua et Nova (AN) offers a philosophical anthropology to overcome the shallowness (and eventual surrender) of subjectivity portended by a gradual erasure of boundaries between persons and machines. An incarnational philosophy of mind and body informs Antiqua et Nova’s understanding of intelligence, motivating critical distinctions between authenticity and artificiality.
