Ganesh Gowrishankar and Madalina Croitoru have published an article in The Conversation exploring the boundaries between humans and artificial intelligence.
An intermediate space between humans and machines
Where does the human end and the machine begin? As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, this boundary is becoming harder to define.
In their article, the authors explore the concept of a “liminal space” — an intermediate space in which traditional categories become less clear-cut. This perspective invites us to rethink the relationship between humans and AI, moving beyond a simple opposition between humans and machines.
How AI is transforming our relationship with the world
Our interactions with artificial intelligence systems are gradually influencing the way we think, make decisions and engage with our environment.
Ganesh Gowrishankar’s research focuses in particular on body augmentation and its effects on behaviour, the brain and social perception. The addition of a sixth robotic finger provides a concrete example of these interactions between humans and technology.
Madalina Croitoru studies interactions between humans and AI, particularly their effects on our decisions and behaviour, as well as the issues of trust and autonomy.
This research contributes to a better understanding of the cognitive, bodily and social dimensions of our relationships with artificial systems, with the aim of fostering collaboration between humans and AI.
