    Conversational Machinations

  • Original language description

    In this chapter, I am discussing the issue of assigning thought to AI entities. Using the example of Sophia the Robot, I try to show that “assigning thought” to an AI entity is less a statement made based on an empirical inquiry, and more the matter of a complex attitude relying on the assigning person’s conceptual sensitivity and imagination. In that respect, most AIs fail simply because people lack the right kind of conceptual resources for relating to them as to persons “speaking out of a life”. However, in the second part I am showing that Sophia represents a case of a coordinated and intentional attempt at shifting our conceptual intuitions, by means of creating and curating conversation situations in such a way that people can relate to “her” as to a genuine person and speaker. Toward the end, I mention a few aspects of this practice that appear morally problematic in a more straightforward sense.
