EDITOR'S NOTE

The question of artificial intelligence is, at its core, a question for the humanities.This is not because the humanities follow technological developments, but because they define the conditions under which such developments become meaningful.Artificial intelligence is often described in technical terms-as systems that generate language, organize information, and mediate communication.Yet these functions presuppose prior acts of interpretation.Decisions about what constitutes knowledge, what counts as relevant data, and which problems are worth solving are inherently interpretive.They are not merely technical choices.They are humanistic ones.

Abstract

The question of artificial intelligence is, at its core, a question for the humanities.This is not because the humanities follow technological developments, but because they define the conditions under which such developments become meaningful.Artificial intelligence is often described in technical terms-as systems that generate language, organize information, and mediate communication.Yet these functions presuppose prior acts of interpretation.Decisions about what constitutes knowledge, what counts as relevant data, and which problems are worth solving are inherently interpretive.They are not merely technical choices.They are humanistic ones.
