AI MEMORY Special Collection
We are proud to announce the launch of the first Special Journal Collection on AI and MEMORY with Andrew Hoskins’ agenda setting article, AI and Memory. We now welcome pioneering proposals in the emergent discipline of AI Memory Wave Workshop Research for publication on this assortment within the Gold Open Entry Cambridge Journal of Memory, Memory Wave Mind & Media. This collection is launched at a tipping point in the development of AI and related applied sciences and providers, which heralds emerging websites of contestation between humans and computers in the shaping of actuality. Large language fashions (LLMs) scrape vast quantities of so-known as ‘publicly available’ information from the internet, thus enabling new ways for the previous-for individuals and societies alike-to be represented and reimagined at an unprecedented scale. This epochal shift from human reliance to dependency on sensible or internet-primarily based applied sciences and networks for imagining the past has, from the early a part of this century, come to outline the terms of our primary sociality, interpersonal relationships, schooling, everyday communications, and work practices.
However, the 2020s are ushering in the new capability of Generative AI and supported services to ship on the a lot heralded yet undelivered promise made of digital applied sciences and media. More not too long ago, these developments have been centered on so-known as Agentic AI, or systems that display the traits of autonomy, intentionality, and models of unbiased choice-making. These emergent forces more and more convey the past into the orbit of machinic oversight and control. This obvious realisation of a once fictional and hypothetical prophecy, that of a complete memory, is likewise pushed by an all-encompassing drive to archive and code life itself. A key concern here is in how AI and, in particular, Generative and Agentic AI are both transformative of and a risk to individual company over the remembering and forgetting of the past. These pasts, increasingly produced by an array of units and services that we commit ourselves to recording the small print and minutiae of our lives, is made ‘accessible’ via AI-generated packages that bury the origins, selections and orderings of memory in opaque knowledge networks.
In this way, the operative logic of AI and its generative capability is realising new pasts with out our consent. With most technological advances that considerably analogously exchange or augment human practices, much of the talk at this time considerations whether expertise is the difficulty, or the people, corporations, organisations, regulatory bodies, and programs tasked with its development, software and promoting. The tension we describe right here is symptomatic of a wider social, political, and scientific debate around the implications of utilizing AI know-how to augment and prolong personal and collective human experiences, productive capacities and-specifically in relation to the main target of this collection-the event of remembering and forgetting. We likewise observe here that the underlying precept of anticipation, or prediction, is foundational to the event of AI and its relentless archiving of the previous (within the type of information patterns) so as to forecast the long run. To this finish, any dialogue of AI and memory shouldn't be solely about the past-which is and stays invariably contested-as it is about how we'll encounter, understand and interact with the future. To deal with these and different concerns, we welcome abstract proposals (max 500 phrases) for modern and interdisciplinary interventions which provide original analysis/insights on certainly one of extra of the matters under.
If you've read our article about Rosh Hashanah, then you know that it is certainly one of two Jewish "High Holidays." Yom Kippur, the opposite High Holiday, is commonly referred to because the Day of Atonement. Most Jews consider this day to be the holiest day of the Jewish yr. Typically, even the least religious Jews will find themselves observing this specific holiday. Let's begin with a quick discussion of what the High Holidays are all about. The High Holiday interval begins with the celebration of the Jewish New 12 months, Rosh Hashanah. It is important to note that the vacation would not really fall on the primary day of the primary month of the Jewish calendar. Jews truly observe a number of New Yr celebrations all year long. Rosh Hashanah begins with the first day of the seventh month, Tishri. Based on the Talmud, it was on this present day that God created mankind. As such, Rosh Hashanah commemorates the creation of the human race.
