In this course
Jacques-Alain Miller is a prominent Lacanian psychoanalyst and Lacan's son-in-law who served as the custodian and interpreter of Lacanian theory after the master's death. The course readings invoke Miller's concept of "extimacy" (intimate exteriorization) to theorize how AI and singularity discourses expose the constructed nature of subjectivity, and they repurpose his famous 1973 television interview with Lacan—where he posed three Kantian questions about the limits of psychoanalytic knowledge—as a framework for interrogating AI's relationship to human subjectivity and sexual difference. Miller's work enables a psychoanalytic rather than purely computational approach to artificial intelligence, grounding contemporary AI anxieties in Lacanian concerns about the Real and the impossibility of complete knowledge.
