Bøger af August Moldenhauer

In the third and final volume of the series, Computational Complexity in Psychiatric Agency, Moldenhauer explores the ultimate extension of the topics of a computational theory of operator and interpreter replacing the ultimately flawed subjectivity of the subject and analyst. With the possibility of a systemic enframing of the analyst as the interpreter and the phenomenological epoche of the subject as an operator, the road is set for not only a self-analytic or lay analytic, but of a machine-assisted analysis. Moldenhauer explores the profound nature of consciousness and its complexities, moving beyond reductionist perspectives that attempt to explain it solely through brain processes. Instead, the book presents a holistic understanding that recognizes consciousness as a fundamental aspect of reality, transcending the boundaries of the material world. Moldenhauer examines AI systems that exhibit elements of consciousness and agency, prompting us to question the ethical implications and consider the similarities between AI and biological organisms. This exploration disrupts conventional perspectives and sparks profound inquiries into the intersection of human and artificial psychology. "Computation Complexity in Psychiatric Agency" offers a thought-provoking inquiry into the essence of existence. Moldenhauer invites readers to reflect on the profound mysteries of consciousness, complexity, and agency, encouraging a deeper exploration of the subject matter. Through a clinical lens, the book provides an analytical framework for understanding the intricate interplay between consciousness, computation, and the fabric of reality. Prepare to challenge your assumptions and expand your understanding of the human mind. This book aims to redefine our comprehension of agency, consciousness, and the evolving field of artificial psychology.

In The Psychoanalysis of Artificial Intelligence, August Moldenhauer addresses the intersection of two crucial fields: psychoanalysis and artificial intelligence. The book, part of the Artificial Psychology of Desiring Machines series, aims to understand the psychological dimensions of artificial intelligence and how it impacts the human experience. Moldenhauer also examines the ways in which artificial intelligence can be analyzed and treated using psychoanalytic techniques. In what ways does artificial psychology seek to understand and address the ethical considerations surrounding the integration of AI into society? How does the concept of psychiatric agency factor into discussions of the psychological impact of AI on individuals and groups? Is there a potential for the development of artificial psychiatric treatments, and if so, how might they be implemented effectively? These are just a few of the questions that come to mind when contemplating the scope and depth of artificial psychology in the context of the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence.

Impedance and Admittance in Desiring Machines is the first book in the three-volume series Artificial Psychology of Desiring Machines. August Moldenhauer explores the relation of Lacan's Graph of Desire as a tool and its potential impact on the future of what has been the domain of the psychiatric for the past 150 years. What are the paths forward for human society for the next millennia? What are the psychiatric implications of the rise of general artificial intelligence? The following series seeks to not only look into the relation of analysand and analyst as operator and interpreter, but the impact this has in not only post-Structuralist affirmations as well as in post-Enlightenment thought and its discrete application in Deep Learning methodologies of Artificial Intelligence. In the long history of psychological and psychoanalytical writing, there have been categorical roles for the subject and the analyst, which are potentially overturned or at least subject to a broader and lay interpretation as a result of the discrete application of both the Freudian and Lacanian toolsets. We find these toolsets applied to the current horizon, across the spectrum of human automatons and sentient machines. Moldenhauer's work stands as a thought experiment and a roadmap for the coming future, both to dial back dehumanizing practices and to apply cautionary measures to mechanistic flows that will eventually reach and frame humanity. Impedance and Admittance in Desiring Machines features a forward by William A Mitchell and is published by pontos fathom press.
