Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is man-made with the purpose of serving humans. An emotional machine is designed to meet the demands of human emotion. Science fiction and films provide many stories about the emotional development of AI/robots/androids/clones. This paper argues that there is an evolutionary emotional process for AI and that humans should finally accept the coexistence of humans and AI. Paolo Bacigalupi, in his novel The Windup Girl, provides clues regarding AI’s evolutionary emotions and subjectivity construction. The novel describes how one AI breaks away from rules designed to elicit obedience to develop herself as someone who knows the world in her own right. This paper explains the concepts of AI and its embodiment, concurs with emotional theorists in stressing the relationship between embodiment and emotion, and argues that there is an evolutionary emotional process in the character Emiko—the main character in The Windup Girl—in that it is bodily pain and a sense of humiliation that prompts her to fight back. She wrestles with the expectation of mere obedience rule and with her own hatred. Biopolitics, including patriarchy and anthropocentrism, eventually urges Emiko to become an independent entity. Finding and creating people like her enables Emiko to be a completely new and independent being. Inherited genes and an unjust social environment provide the impetus for Emiko to be the opposite of a human. My paper concludes with the view that accepting otherness is the key step for determining the relationship between humans and AI. To be just and caring toward others is the ultimate solution.

《发条女孩》中人工智能的进化情感与主体性建构

摘要

人工智能（AI）是人造的，其目的是为人类服务。情感机器是为了满足人类情感的需求而设计的。科幻小说和电影提供了许多关于人工智能/机器人/机器人/克隆人的情感发展的故事。本文认为，人工智能存在一个进化的情感过程，人类最终应该接受人类与人工智能的共存。保罗·巴奇加卢皮 (Paolo Bacigalupi) 在他的小说《发条女孩》(The Windup Girl)中提供了有关人工智能进化情感和主体性构建的线索。小说描述了一个人工智能如何摆脱旨在引起服从的规则，将自己发展成为一个凭自己的能力了解世界的人。本文解释了人工智能及其体现的概念，同意情感理论家强调体现与情感之间关系的观点，并认为《发条女孩》中的主角惠美子这个角色存在一个情感进化过程，因为它是身体的疼痛和羞辱感促使她反击。她与仅仅服从规则的期望和自己的仇恨作斗争。包括父权制和人类中心主义在内的生命政治最终促使惠美子成为一个独立的实体。寻找并创造像她这样的人，使惠美子成为一个全新的、独立的存在。遗传的基因和不公正的社会环境，促使惠美子走向人类的反面。我的论文的结论是，接受差异性是确定人类与人工智能之间关系的关键步骤。公正并关心他人才是最终的解决办法。
