Making sense of AI in society
Synthadox is a site for reflective and analytic writing on how artificial intelligence and advanced technologies intersect with philosophy, narratology, social relations, and ethics.
The work here examines how people reason and make sense of the world when technological systems become increasingly complex and opaque. Rather than arguing for or against AI, Synthadox focuses on how to think clearly under conditions of uncertainty; how to build collaborative projects that enrich our shared lifeworld; and how to protect that lifeworld as it is reshaped by emerging technologies.
