What is AI? A dominant view describes it as the quest "to solve
intelligence" - a solution supposedly to be found in the secret
logic of the mind or in the deep physiology of the brain, such as
in its complex neural networks. The Eye of the Master argues, to
the contrary, that the inner code of AI is shaped not by the
imitation of biological intelligence, but the intelligence of
labour and social relations, as it is found in Babbage's
"calculating engines" of the industrial age as well as in the
recent algorithms for image recognition and surveillance. The idea
that AI may one day become autonomous (or "sentient", as someone
thought of Google's LaMDA) is pure fantasy. Computer algorithms
have always imitated the form of social relations and the
organisation of labour in their own inner structure and their
purpose remains blind automation. The Eye of the Master urges a new
literacy on AI for scientists, journalists and new generations of
activists, who should recognise that the "mystery" of AI is just
the automation of labour at the highest degree, not intelligence
per se.
