AI Ain't the Villain (eBook, ePUB)

Rewriting Our Story with Machines

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A bold philosophical and cultural reimagining of artificial intelligence-not as our destroyer or savior, but as a mirror reflecting humanity's oldest fears, deepest desires, and untapped possibilities for becoming. Artificial intelligence is locked in a tired debate: apocalypse or salvation. But AI Ain't the Villain: Rewriting Our Story with Machines asks a different question-what if AI is neither enemy nor messiah, but a mirror we built to see ourselves more clearly? Award-winning historian and philosopher Juan de Dios Vázquez takes readers on a sweeping journey from the myths of ancient golems and mechanical gods to today's neural networks and generative algorithms. Along the way, he reveals how our cultural anxieties and ambitions have shaped the very technologies we fear and revere. Blending history, philosophy, and cultural analysis, Vázquez reframes AI as a human artifact, a rival intelligence, a linguistic reflection, and-if we choose-a partner in ethical co-creation. Structured in three sweeping parts-The Mirror of Being, The Cultural Machine, and The Net Between Us-the book dismantles the binary of techno-utopianism versus dystopian alarmism, offering instead a vision of shared possibility. Urgent yet hopeful, AI Ain't the Villain invites readers to rethink not just machines, but the meaning of intelligence, consciousness, and humanity itself in an age when the boundaries between us and our creations have never been thinner.
