ChatGPT, Cyborg, Necropolitics, Neoliberalism, Machinic enslavementAbstract
This article employs a cyborg and collective view of language (Martins; Viana, 2019) to explore how late Artificial Intelligences operate as devices that contribute to the establishment of racial ontologies and policies of death of racialized bodies. The analysis is based on ChatGPT, the popular Artificial Intelligence created by OpenAI, and the ways in which this device supports and strengthens contemporary neoliberal narratives and politics of enmity. To do so, we will use the concepts of cyborg (Haraway, 2009[1991]) and Actor-Network Theory (Latour, 2012) to complicate understandings about language, as well as the concepts of necropolitics (Mbembe, 2018[2003]) and neoliberal governmentality (Dardot; Laval, 2016) to understand the action of machinic entities today. We argue that these discussions need to be expanded to circumvent, blur and hack ideologies that deal with a precise ontology between humans/non-humans, since it is such imaginaries that allow the production and perpetuation of these very oppressions.
