Abstract
Sam Freed’s AI and Human Thought and Emotion is a pioneering venture into the possibility of programming an anthropic model of artificial intelligence grounded on the author’s philosophical reflection on the accuracy-oriented and optimisation-driven making of AI. In critique of the rationalist tradition of AI development and expurgation of introspection from cognitive science, this book draws heavily upon phenomenology to argue for the necessity of incorporating human non-linear thinking processes into the technical design of AI. Freed’s conceptual revolution enters a substantive dialogue with Hubert Dreyfus’s What Computers Can’t Do to offer an answer to the impossibility of formalising human introspection, which is conventionally deemed unprogrammable under the ostracism of human subjectivity from the science discipline and anti-scientism that pervades the intellectual circle of the humanities.
