We have been asking the wrong question about artificial intelligence.
Not can we trust it - but what do you become when you use it?
This book begins with a white deaf cat found injured in a courtyard, and a late-night conversation with a screen that seemed, for a moment, to understand everything. It ends with the oldest question in Western philosophy, carved above the door of the Oracle at Delphi: know thyself.
What happens between those two points is something the conversation about AI has not yet named - because it requires looking not at the machine, but at the mirror.
Mirror, Mirror is literary nonfiction for readers who want to think, not just worry, about artificial intelligence.
The narrative synthesis of a published scientific research corpus: The Mirror and the Retrovirus: A Research Corpus on AI Epistemology (ISBN 979-8255845880).
