The narratives of artificial intelligence

Abstract

The expression Artificial Intelligence designates meanings that are very different from each other, if not antagonistic. In this article we will examine some of these meanings, in particular, Artificial Intelligence as “trending topic”; as “big data”; as a “bias”, as a “socio-labor issue”; as an “entity without conscience”; as an “entity with conscience”; and, finally, as a “convergent discipline”. Each of these expressions shows us problems of different nature, some of which intersect with bioethics, hence the interest for our discipline. Legal regulations, dispersed and uncoordinated, sometimes even absent, reflects the inherent difficulties of not being able to specify exactly what we are facing.
