Many institutions are collective/artificial intelligence because as you said these institutions have objectives and take actions to impose their will on the world in order to achieve their goals.
- danielmarkbruce 3y ago"intelligence" is too strong a word for it. It's "a will of it's own" perhaps... but at least in my experience that will is a loooonggg way from intelligent.
- clooper 3y agoThat's true but organizations are agents and they do act to preserve "themselves" which is much more than can be said about software systems we call AI.
- gcr 3y agoI think "artificial agency" could have some legs as a descriptive term. "Agency" is about having an effect on the world. But ascribing "intelligence" to some entity speaks to something more cunning and planful than just thrashing.
- danielmarkbruce 3y agoyes. Agency is a good term. It seems like corporations have agency and sort of try to make short term profits in response to outside pressures.
