SUMMARY:Schizoanalysis of AI: Machinic Desire\, Energy\, and Planetary Subjectivation

DESCRIPTION:<p>This seminar approaches artificial intelligence not as a model of cognition or a substitute for human thought\, but as a *machinic assemblage* that reorganises desire\, labour\, and planetary forms of life. Against the dominant ideology of AI grounded in the thermodynamics of information -- where thought is reduced to computation and life to optimisation -- this lecture draws on Deleuze and Guattari&lsquo\;s schizoanalysis to propose an alternative conceptual framework. Schizoanalysis allows us to understand AI as a *desiring-machine*\, one that connects technical infrastructures\, global supply chains\, computational architectures\, and human bodies in new circuits of production and exhaustion. Rather than asking whether AI can &ldquo\;think\,&rdquo\; I investigate how AI participates in the *production of subjectivity*: how it reconfigures perception\, affects\, attention\, and the conditions of planetary co-existence. By situating AI within the broader question of the *machinic earth*\, the seminar reframes the stakes of AI beyond ethics or regulation\, toward the problem of how modes of life and care can be composed in the shadow of accelerating automation.</p>
