Hubert Dreyfus

In this course
Hubert Dreyfus appears as a foundational reference for understanding embodied cognition and skill acquisition in relation to algorithmic systems, though the specific excerpts provided don't directly quote or develop his work. His phenomenological critique of artificial intelligence—particularly the argument that human expertise cannot be reduced to rule-following procedures—likely informs the course's examination of how machine learning systems differ from human knowledge and judgment. The readings seem to invoke Dreyfus implicitly when they grapple with questions of control, embodiment, and the limits of computational abstraction in social and technological contexts.
