Recenzje

"In this illuminating book, Luca M. Possati explores the unconscious dimension of Artificial Intelligence. Its main thesis is that in the age of big data and self-learning neural networks 'machine behavior' has become dark and impenetrable and is in need for interpretation. Combining Lacanian psychoanalysis and Latour's actor-network theory the author offers an original and timely analysis of how we project our deepest desires in AI technologies and pleas for a new 'subcortical AI'."
