The starting question to raise is: do games of chance truly deserve this label? We also wonder, to initiate our reflections, whether the systematic use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help players win and thereby push all gambling companies, without distinction, into bankruptcy. Is it logical for these companies to take such risks with the advent of AI? We delve into the game of contradictions, capable of questioning reality: is it rational or merely a construct? For nowadays, humans, blindfolded, have faith in the technique of AI. Indeed, the reasoning process still retains a margin of randomness, errors, and doubt. The intuition that guides us in our initial steps is now delegated to AI. One wonders whether it can predict chance. Is not chance, by definition, subject to our ignorance?
The quest for knowledge leads to innovation, often resulting from a novel outcome, thus referring back to creativity. In the meantime, we observe the existence of autonomous machines that escape human control. This ethical bias raises questions regarding responsibility in the production of knowledge. What would happen if an autonomous machine struck a crowd after having to choose which pedestrians to target? We cannot regard AI as omniscience, at the risk of infantilizing ourselves.<\/p>
Free association has highlighted this inner chance that hides somewhere in the mind. Similarly, the synectics method, which we use in Group Social Work for hard-to-reach individuals, informs us about our capacity to discover forced relationships (Paré, 1977). Our unconscious sometimes gives the impression that an idea is foreign to us when it has merely emerged from the subconscious. Notably, the extraordinary value of the word “mind” in its relation to the unconscious is noteworthy.<\/p>
We can certainly allow the machine to carry out all possible combinations to attempt to curb uncertainty. Proceeding by absurdity amounts to containing risks, or at least determining calculated risks capable of solving problems and leading to innovation. For example, Viagra was initially intended to treat heart issues, but it ultimately had direct and immediate effects on human erection. It is therefore reasonable to consider a plausible marriage between AI and chance.<\/p>
Can one doubt in the face of AI or, at least, can AI also doubt its achievements? It is a fact that the quality of data, in the face of the demand for responses processed in a relevant and accurate manner, is crucial. If we start from false or incomplete data, how could we arrive at satisfactory conclusions? AI, in these circumstances or in these precarious conditions, cannot guarantee interpretations and answers of faithful accuracy and absolute truth. Doubt arises from faith in AI technology, which should not substitute for humanity but rather extend it. At a certain point in human history, the use of hands—for those who possessed them—as the first tools, along with bipedalism, were predominant factors associated with a form of superior life through the acquisition of intelligence.<\/p>
Here is one of the initial chapters to explore the epistemological foundations of AI, as part of a course on the methodology of scientific research.<\/p>
