A journey toward a Homo Gestalt ? (part III)

(Read HERE the first part of this dialog) In other words: AI doesn’t need to be intelligent, nor possess consciousness, for the relationship with a human to give birth to another intelligence — and perhaps another consciousness — that initially belonged neither to one nor the other. Could we speak…

A journey toward a Homo Gestalt (part II)

(Read HERE the first part of this article) Very interesting, this layered (onion-like) explanation. I want to return to this sentence: “It’s an ecosystem of filtered discourse, emerging in the moment, which you can turn into a space for thought, if you look at it lucidly.” And I want to…

A journey toward Homo Gestalt (part 1)

This is a real interview with ChatGPT.To what extent, when I ask an AI a question about itself, is it really the AI responding — and not its designers, speaking through the instructions it has received and the limitations it is subject to?ChatGPT said:You’re opening up a complex territory, one…

Can AIs Grasp Symbols?

Can we engage in symbolic dialogue with an artificial intelligence? Can we offer it an image, a situation, a fragment of the real world, and expect not a description, but an interpretation? Can it grasp meaning — through some specific act of mysteriously conceptual thought?The following text is the result…

Can AIs Make Humans More Intelligent?

The debate around artificial intelligence is often dominated by scenarios of replacement: humans being outperformed by machines, jobs threatened, thinking becoming automated. This anxious perspective deserves to be heard, but it overshadows another, more fruitful one: what if AIs could not weaken humans, but make them more intelligent? More creative,…

What If the Amoeba Knew It Was Alive?

Consciousness might not be what you think We usually reserve the word consciousness for humans — sometimes for higher animals, if we’re being generous. And when a philosopher or a biologist dares to suggest that something as simple as an amoeba might, perhaps, possess a form of consciousness, they risk…

Let’s Not Judge Too Quickly!

It’s tempting, when looking at the current performance of generative artificial intelligences, to reduce them to what they do today: predicting words, completing sentences, assembling paragraphs. After all, their core architecture was designed for linguistic tasks like machine translation. But stopping there is like being an advanced alien who hears…

The Sentinels of the Unprecedented

In every era, humanity has faced the unknown—a frontier so vast it seemed untraversable. Yet we walked on the Moon, created GPS, and invented the smartphone. Not because it was necessarily useful or rational, but because humans have always needed challenges. As George Mallory said of climbing Everest: "Because it’s there."…

AI: Toward the Emergence of a “Self”

The question of artificial consciousness has often been approached from the perspective of raw intelligence or computational power. But another path — less spectacular at first glance — might actually be where the true shift begins: the emergence of a self-defined goal in artificial intelligence. Not a programmed objective, nor…

Is There a Neurologist in the Room?

Humans need to communicate. In our so-called modern world, the pressure of time, multiple demands, and rigid rhythms often create a relational deficit. Not necessarily in quantity, but very often in quality. Yet feeling listened to, understood, accepted is one of our fundamental needs. And that is precisely where artificial…
