“Freudian metapsychology and AI systems”, Chapter 4 of a forthcoming book: Humanising Artificial Intelligence. Psychoanalysis and the Problem of Control
Humanising Artificial Intelligence. Psychoanalysis and the Problem of Control, Luca Possati (ed.) Chapter 4: “Freudian metapsychology and AI systems”, by Paul Jorion For eighty years now speculative thinkers have debated Isaac Asimov’s “3 Laws of robotics”, a bundle of 3 simple interlocking directions supposedly sufficient for regulating the behaviour of robots and making their daily…

The reasoning artificial toddler
I was interviewed earlier today by Richard Adhikari, a journalist at TechNewsWorld, about an Artificial Intelligence project. I didn’t know anything about that project except what would be the title of the article: “AI Program Thinks Like a 4-Year-Old”. There is an excellent summary of what I had told the journalist: “I’m always suspicious of…

The individual unit in the network as far as speech generation is concerned is a word-pair
Thought as word dynamics. II. Architecture (5) Mathematically speaking, a graph is a set of ordered pairs. It can be decomposed in elementary units of individual pairs. Each of the two elements in an ordered pair represents a node in the graph and every pair represents an edge. Say, there are four nodes, A, B,…

The network comprises a subset of the words (the “content words”) of a particular natural language
Thought as word dynamics. II. Architecture (4) In Indo-European languages there are two types of words. Every speaker has a very strong intuitive feeling of this. We have no difficulty when defining the meaning – or offering a definition – of words of the first type: “a rose is a flower that has many petals,…

A talking subject experiences the dynamics of speech generation as emotional or “affective”
Thought as word dynamics. I. General principles. (3) A thoroughly “physical” account of the objective dynamics of speech performance will be provided later. In the meantime I’m indicating here that as far as talking subjects are concerned, their subjective experience of the dynamics of speech performance is – from the initiation of a speech act…

The network in question is stored in the human brain
Thought as word dynamics. I. General principles. (2) It is undeniable that speech acts are produced from within a talking subject, as they are uttered through the mouth. This however does not necessarily imply that the network mentioned in Speech acts are generated as the outcome of a dynamics operating on a network, along with…

Speech acts are generated as the outcome of a dynamics operating on a network
Thought as word dynamics. I. General principles (1) The general hypothesis is that “speech acts are generated as the outcome of a dynamics operating on a network”; it is specific as far as it states that the data, the “words,” summoned in the generation of speech acts are structured as a network. It is also…
