Daniel Dennett on Wiener - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 43 Wiener/Dennett: Alan Turing’s famous 1950 article “Computing Machinery and Intelligence,”(1) in the philosophy journal Mind, foresaw the development of AI, and so did Wiener, but Wiener saw further and deeper, recognizing that AI would not just imitate - and replace - human beings in many intelligent activities but change human beings in the process: Wiener: We are but whirlpools in a river of ever-flowing water. We are not stuff that abides, but patterns that perpetuate themselves.(2) >Artificial intelligence/Wiener, >Control/Wiener. Brockman I 45 Dennett: One of the disturbing lessons of recent experience is that the task of destroying a reputation for credibility is much less expensive than the task of protecting such a reputation.) Wiener saw the phenomenon at its most general: “[I]n the long run, there is no distinction between arming ourselves and arming our enemies.”(2) The information age is also the dysinformation age. 1.
