Filosofia do poder tecnológico : inteligências artificiais e o pensamento reflexivo

Abstract

ABSTRACT The exercise of critical thinking, and their relationship with power and mass manipulation. We explore how philosophy not only encourages profound reflection but also unveils the underlying dynamics of power within societies. Through the analysis of classical and contemporary philosophical texts, we examine how philosophical thinking can empower individuals to discern manipulation strategies employed by powerful entities to influence public opinion. We particularly focus on the implications of this interplay between philosophy and power in the context of Artificial Intelligence (AI). We acknowledge that while AIs have the potential to bring significant advancements to various fields, they also pose ethical and social challenges. The ability of AIs to collect and analyze vast amounts of data raises concerns about the potential manipulation of information and mass opinions. We reflect on how philosophical understanding of power can provide a critical lens to assess the development and use of these emerging technologies. However, we also consider that AIs can be tools for democratizing knowledge and promoting critical thinking. They can provide access to diverse information and foster informed debates. By applying philosophical principles of questioning and analysis to the data provided by AIs, individuals can develop more informed responses that are resistant to manipulation. In summary, this dissertation explores how philosophy and the act of philosophizing can empower individuals to recognize power and mass manipulation present in society, especially in the context of Artificial Intelligence. While AIs present significant challenges, they also offer opportunities to enhance our critical understanding and promote more informed engagement with the information around us.
