La trappola dell’intelligenza artificiale tra mimesi imitativa e ideologia

Abstract

This article addresses the issue of artificial intelligence by focusing on two core dimensions: mimetic imitation and techno-scientific ideology. It argues that AI systems reproduce human cognitive and behavioral processes in a reductionist way, without surpassing the threshold of self-consciousness and intentionality. Such imitation functions as an ideology serving the economic and political interests of global corporations, reinforcing new forms of symbolic domination and social control. Within this framework, the main risk lies not only in technological alienation but also in the gradual erosion of individual freedom of choice, increasingly replaced by predictive and automated processes. The paper offers a critical perspective that combines theoretical reflection, historical genealogy, and sociological analysis, underlining the need to safeguard a human dimension irreducible to algorithmic logic.
