Philosophy of AI
No, AI is not a rival mind. It is an extension of ours
Drawing on Husserl's phenomenology, researchers argue that AI systems are best understood as extensions of natural intelligence, not as autonomous minds. This perspective explains hallucinations and compositional failures while shifting safety debates from rogue AI fears to responsible engineering and governance.
