DALLA CIBERNETICA AL DATAISMO. ALCUNE CONSIDERAZIONI SU OBSOLESCENZA DELLA TEORIA E INTELLIGENZA ARTIFICIALE NELL’EPOCA DEI BIG DATA

Abstract

FROM CYBERNETICS TO DATAISM. SOME NOTES ON THE OBSOLESCENCE OF THEORY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE ERA OF BIG DATA The dataism is the new frontier of technological era, where the being is converted in quantity. The so called Big Data are, in this scenario, the new oil, the principal source for the extraction of value and information. The possibility to process a huge amount of information in order to describe, analyse and predict a phenomenon, has made even the theory obsolete. In addiction Big data are also closely tied to the development of the Arificial intelligence, of which they are the “blood”. The present paper aims at focusing the nexus between Big Data and Artificial intelligence and between the digital turn and the cybernetics from a critical perspective on technology, rooted in the philosophical anthropology.
