  “Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Digital Ontotheology: Toward a Critical Rethinking of Science Fiction as Theory”

  Harry F. Dahms

  In utopian/science fiction literature

  comprehensive knowledge is a familiar motif that also inspires recent policies to screen society through surveillance. In the late 20th century

  a digital archive promised to facilitate quick access to abundant information and effective strategies to confront myriad challenges. Yet

  today

  the scale and scope of information accumulation in national and corporate repositories is reaching proportions whose intelligent processing exceeds human capabilities

  triggering a shift in focus from dumb repository to artificial intelligence. Processing such accumulation of knowledge necessitates skills commonly attributed to divinity. Without a theory that recognizes this condition and informs the operations of artificial intelligence

  the latter is likely to fail in human ways

  e.g.

  by perceiving false patterns resulting from flawed theories assigning meaning to knowledge. For successful pattern recognition to occur

  theories must rest on science fiction and a digital ontotheology of the machine as the form this archive assumes.

  Workshop and Seminar with Professor David Harvey\n\nMARX AND CAPITAL: THE BOOK

  THE CONCEPT

  THE HISTORY \nThe architecture of Marx's Capital as a book reflects his concept of capital as value in motion. He viewed capital as a loosely coupled ecosystem of diverse parts powered by the search for profit or surplus value. The three volumes of Capital construct different windows from which to study the evolution of this ecosystem. By putting the three volumes together we can build a more workable and realistic model of the evolutionary trajectory of capital over time and space.\n\nhttp://www.criticalsocialinquiry.org/
