摘要 基于有前途的机器学习技术的各种不同的人工智能系统已经毫不费力地应用到日常生活中，有时甚至取代和提供机构决策。继吉尔伯特·西蒙东（Gilbert Simondon）在《论技术对象的存在模式》中的分析之后，本文探讨了新人工智能系统的当代技术对象，以询问它们的过早接受是否可能基于误解：人工智能系统能够计算意义，从而执行传统上植根于文化领域的任务。人工智能技术对象是否会因为其计算意义的新能力而被错误地解读为“审美对象”，从而造成“融入”世界的错觉？如何对它们的整合有不同的理解？这篇文章对西蒙东和数字技术交叉领域的研究做出了贡献，从而穿越了科学技术研究和技术哲学。
ABSTRACT A wide range of different AI systems based on the promising technology of machine learning has been implemented into everyday life without further ado, at times supplanting and delivering institutional decisions. Following Gilbert Simondon’s analysis in On the Mode of Existence of Technical Objects, this essay explores the contemporary technical objects of new Artificial Intelligence systems to ask if their premature acceptance might be based on a misunderstanding: AI systems are able to calculate meaning, whereby they are performing a task traditionally rooted in the sphere of culture. Are AI-informed technical objects, because of their new ability of calculating meaning, mistakenly being read as an ‘aesthetic object’ thereby creating the illusion of being ‘integrated’ into the world? And how could their integration be understood differently? The article contributes to studies located at the intersection of work on Simondon and digital technology, thereby traversing Science and Technology Studies and Philosophy of Technology.
