초록

The aim of this paper is an attempt to examine a consciousness of artificial intelligence not being different from that of human in terms of cognitive science focused on Richard Powers‘ Galatea 2.2. This novel borrows freely from Edelman’s principles rooted in neurology in its representation both of human and of artificial brains. Richard, the protagonist, tutors the neural network dubbed Helen that is modeled on human brains, first by reading her classical American literature, then current incidents. As a result, the computer is able to communicate like a human. Richard’s description of Helen’s gradual development of something like consciousness is an example of Edelman’s theory of neuronal group selection as applied to artificial mind. Moreover, the novel indicates that part of Richard’s discussion of metaphor follows Lakoff and Johnson closely in calling attention to the conceptual metaphors of cognitive linguistics. For example, Imp F shows the erroneous but astonishing leap by connecting old trees and the trees bald. Though F’s performance is not perfect, it means F’s ordinary conceptual system is fundamentally metaphoric. In this context, this paper tries to study parallels between humans and neural nets.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is an attempt to examine a consciousness of artificial intelligence not being different from that of human in terms of cognitive science focused on Richard Powers‘ Galatea 2.2. This novel borrows freely from Edelman’s principles rooted in neurology in its representation both of human and of artificial brains. Richard, the protagonist, tutors the neural network dubbed Helen that is modeled on human brains, first by reading her classical American literature, then current incidents. As a result, the computer is able to communicate like a human. Richard’s description of Helen’s gradual development of something like consciousness is an example of Edelman’s theory of neuronal group selection as applied to artificial mind. Moreover, the novel indicates that part of Richard’s discussion of metaphor follows Lakoff and Johnson closely in calling attention to the conceptual metaphors of cognitive linguistics. For example, Imp F shows the erroneous but astonishing leap by connecting old trees and the trees bald. Though F’s performance is not perfect, it means F’s ordinary conceptual system is fundamentally metaphoric. In this context, this paper tries to study parallels between humans and neural nets.
