THE EYE OF THE MASTER - MATTEO PASQUINELLI KART...

What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest "to solve intelligence" - a solution
supposedly to be found in the secret logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain 
such as in its complex neural networks. The Eye of the Master argues  to the contrary  that the
inner code of AI is shaped not by the imitation of biological intelligence  but the
intelligence of labour and social relations  as it is found in Babbage' s "calculating
engines" of the industrial age as well as in the recent algorithms for image recognition and
surveillance.   The idea that AI may one day become autonomous (or "sentient"  as someone
thought of Google' s LaMDA) is pure fantasy. Computer algorithms have always imitated the
form of social relations and the organisation of labour in their own inner structure and their
purpose remains blind automation. The Eye of the Master urges a new literacy on AI for
scientists  journalists and new generations of activists  who should recognise that the
"mystery" of AI is just the automation of labour at the highest degree  not intelligence per
se.
