Computational Conscience Problematizing Freedoms in Artificial Intelligence

Interests in controlling the hopes and fears about intelligent machines have shaped imagined possibilities and vice versa. Mutually co-constitutive hopes and fears have defined the imagining of AI; hopes for a longer life, free of work, and power over others is inseparable from fears like losing identity, becoming redundant, and that AI will turn against ‘us.’  These hopes reflect deep-rooted narratives of human aspirations meeting technological possibilities.
