Another conversation with Dr Vanessa Camilleri who is a researching senior lecturer at the Faculty of Information & Communication Technology of the Department of Artificial Intelligence, at the University of Malta. She has published articles on implementing emerging information technologies in learning through play, focusing on the possibilities of using virtual applications to foster the values informed by emotional intelligence. In this new conversation, Vanessa and I consider epistemological limitations of AI research, the tensions between technics and ethics of the human-machine interface, and how introducing a broader philosophical context is critical for thriving in the emerging age of information. As new technologies create new contexts, a corresponding demand for creative meaning-making is brought to light by these contexts. This is rarely noticed by those of us who are clinging to the old ways of being which are now becoming maladaptive, coerced into artificial compliance by protocols of algorithmic conditioning. One could argue that such algorithmic eugenics of human consciousness is nothing new. In its pre-digital stages of agricultural and industrial societies this impersonal force expressed itself by keeping the human evolution arrested by the means of finance and ideology. This process, however, after having become digitalised, has now entered its final stage where the metaphysic of artificiality subliminally precludes the human capacity for accurately assessing our own natural condition as intrinsically relational self-aware entities. At the same time, for those who can harness the malignant power of the digital Moloch against itself, it works as a catalyst for awakening the sort of self-awareness which can only emerge under conditions of anthropocene, thus pushing humanity from the womb of technological adolescence towards the empowered responsibity of adulthood. In the discussion we are referring to my recent article, 'The blind god of digital eugenics': https://adamwidawski.substack.com/p/the-blind-god-of-digital-eugenics
