CRITICAL REVIEW PHILOSOPHY AND THE ALGORITHMIC ABSOLUTE

---

Algorithms have become near mystical beings. Here on earth they make their users happy and their creators very rich. Every minute a few algorithms manipulate millions of Uber drivers and their customers. It turned Garrett Camp, the Canadian inventor of the Uber algorithm and co-founder of the company, into the transcendental choirmaster of the ride-sharing world and a billionaire to boot. Currently the third richest Canadian, Camp knows a thing or two about evolutionary algorithms. Uber is not the only algorithm playing a greater role in our daily lives. Self-improving AI machines diagnose cancer with far greater accuracy than your harried family physician. Almost twenty-five years ago IBM’s Deep Blue defeated world champion Garry Kasparov at chess. Today Go masters are no match for Google’s AlphaGo. EMI, not the record label, but the company Experiments in Musical Intelligence, composes Bach-like chorales that are, embarrassingly, extolled in blind reviews as far better than the real thing by classical connoisseurs. Most evolutionary biologists interpret organisms algorithmically. Neuroscientists study “thinking” in terms of patterns in the brain’s regional centres of operation. From medicine, to economics, to finance, to law, it is hard to find a discipline or profession today that does not increasingly employ algorithms. There are some laggards, especially in the humanities such as philosophy or literary criticism, but maybe their days are numbered as well.
