Artificial Intelligence and the Epistemic Commons
Civilizational Intelligence Without Machine SovereigntyBy Dr Bichara SahelyLength3h 11m
About this audiobook
How can a civilization think with artificial intelligence without being thought for by it? Artificial Intelligence and the Epistemic Commons examines how AI can enlarge collective intelligence without becoming sovereign over what societies know, value, authorize, or do. T4 shifts attention from AI models alone to the wider ecology of data, knowledge, compute, infrastructure, institutions, authority, affected persons, and remedies. It develops a constitutional framework for governed epistemic commons, contestable synthesis, meaningful institutional control, persistent responsibility, public counter-capacity, usable plurality, epistemic independence, material accountability, and repair. Its governing principle: augment cognition; retain authority—AI may participate in civilizational intelligence, but must remain corrigible within it.
