What could be called an intelligent machine? Are machines capable of being moral? Does an algorithm for perpetual peace exist? In this groundbreaking new work, Yuk Hui considers how current debates on artificial intelligence echo historical philosophical discussions about the workings of the mind, with the philosophy of Immanuel Kant emerging as a lens through which to consider the ethical and political implications of AI and robotics in a new light.
Addressing fundamental questions around machine intelligence and morality, transcendental idealism and learning, and the metaphysics of machines, the history of AI and Kantian ideas are expertly woven together alongside an array of figures in the histories of technology and philosophy: from Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Alan Turing to Hubert Dreyfus and Jacques de Vaucanson.
In asking how we can understand AI in light of the challenges Kant posed to both rationalism and empiricism, and how revisiting Kant can help us better comprehend the nature and limitations of contemporary technologies, Kant Machine is an essential critical contribution both to Kant studies and to the philosophy of digital technology.
Yuk Hui is Professor of Philosophy at Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where he holds the Chair of Human Conditions. Hui studied computer engineering at the University of Hong Kong and philosophy at Goldsmiths College in London, where he wrote his doctoral thesis under the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler (1952-2020). He obtained his Habilitation (venia legendi in philosophy of technology) from the Leuphana University Lüneburg. Hui is a juror of the Berggruen Prize for Philosophy and Culture since 2020, and convenor of the Research Network for Philosophy and Technology since 2014. His books include Post-Europe (2024), Machine and Sovereignty (2024), Art and Cosmotechnics (2021), and Recursivity and Contingency (2019).
