Abstract
Framing strongly influences actions among technology
proponents and end-users. Underlying much debate about
artificial intelligence (AI) are several fundamental
shortcomings in its framing. First, discussion of AI is
atheoretical, and therefore has limited potential for
addressing the complexity of causation. Second,
intelligence is considered from an anthropocentric
perspective that sees human intelligence, and
intelligence developed by humans, as superior to all
other intelligences. Thus, the extensive
post-anthropocentric research into intelligence is not
given sufficient consideration. Third, AI is discussed
often in reductionist mechanistic terms. Rather than in
organicist emergentist terms as a contributor to
multi-intelligence (MI) hybrid beings and/or systems.
Thus, current framing of AI can be a self-validating
reduction within which AI development is focused upon AI
becoming the single-variable mechanism causing future
effects. In this paper, AI is reframed as a contributor
to MI.
