THE PSYCHOANALYSIS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (w/ Isabel Millar)
In this discussion, Dr. Isabel Millar introduces us to the reasons why she put neuroscience and psychoanalysis into closer conversation, opening up a 'provocation': "the psychoanalysis of artificial intelligence". Here we discuss the role of sexuation, enjoyment, and non-relation in thought (feminine/masculine), the conceptual vehicle of the sexbot, structures of repression/perversion/psychosis, the shift in focus from objet a to lathouse and alethosphere, the role of the subject in psychoanalysis vs. science, the sacred position of the child in human culture (the child as objet a), intersections of transgender/transhuman, distinctions between utopian and dystopian singularity, and science becoming science fiction.
