Verteidigung des Menschen

With the advancements in artificial intelligence, the digitalization of our environment, and the reduction of the mind to neural processes, humans increasingly appear as products of data and algorithms. We understand ourselves in the image of our machines, while conversely, we elevate our machines and our brains to new subjects. Against this objectification of humanity, philosopher and psychiatrist Thomas Fuchs advocates for a humanism of embodiment: Our corporeality, liveliness, and embodied freedom are the foundations of a self-determined existence that uses new technologies merely as tools, rather than submitting to them.
