Creative Vulnerability and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The contribution explores the relationship between artificial intelligence and the human condition, questioning how AI challenges contemporary anthropology. It introduces the notion of creative vulnerability as a key to understanding what is unique to the human being in contrast to the increasingly sophisticated capabilities of artificial systems. The essay thus investigates the in-between – the relational and intersubjective space – in which the human subject is constituted through the capacity to feel, create, fail, and respond to otherness. It ultimately invites a rethinking of thinking and creating as ethical and existential practices, in which vulnerability is not merely a limitation, but also a generative resource.
