The undecidability in the Other AI
Abstract This paper suggests that psychoanalysis is a crucial tool for understanding the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on us as speaking beings. It explores the nature of undecidability, which is both paradoxical and incomputable. The paper argues that the discovery of this undecidability,...

| description | Abstract This paper suggests that psychoanalysis is a crucial tool for understanding the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on us as speaking beings. It explores the nature of undecidability, which is both paradoxical and incomputable. The paper argues that the discovery of this undecidability, whether in language or formal systems, challenges the supremacy of reason’s teleological finality and suggests that computation inherently contains incomputable data. This is not merely a system error but an integral part of computation. Drawing on Lacan’s teaching, the paper further discusses how the signifying order is also inherently incomplete, with this incompleteness built into the system itself. The paper concludes by identifying the undecidable as an inherent aspect of any computable system, thus challenging attempts to ground rationality solely on computation. |
