ABSTRACT
This chapter aims at questioning the notions of Artificial Intelligence and Technological Singularity in the light of the work of Gilbert Simondon and Bernard Stiegler, who both refuse the abstract analogy between humans and machines, in order to focus their attention on the concrete relation between human “thought” or “spirit” and technical artifacts. This perspective leads them to dispel the myths of Artificial Intelligence and Technological Singularity in order to explore the ethical and political consequences of automation and digitalization. For the two authors, the question is not about guessing when human intelligence will be exceeded by technological performances, it is about asking how human culture could take care of artificial, automated and digital milieus, so that these technologies can become supports of psychic and social individuation, at the root of collective intelligence.
