¿Amas tu IA?: Un ensayo sobre las influencias de la ontología cristiana y confuciana en la creatividad, la tecnología y el arte mediático.

Resumen

This paper examines the anthropocentric orientation and critical view of technology as traced within the theological doctrine of Christianity, vis-a-vis the anthropocosmic and enabling, but less critical perspective, established via Confucianism. It then examines how these distinct traditional worldviews are amplified in the popular media of our contemporary milieu, that can then influence the development and reception of Artificial Intelligence today in different geographical locations. Through this comparison, this paper invites readers to locate invisible influences that constrict our a-priori assumptions by exploring and articulating previously occluded cultural perspectives within the context of media art. Thereafter, the arena of new media art is proposed as a conducive space and context upon which such inclinations can be observed, discussed, and experimented with, in view of collectively expanding and diversifying theories and discourses in the mainstream media art-world.
