This article by Joaquin Trujillo proposes supplanting the sobriquet – “artificial intelligence” (AI) – with “dark intelligence” to offset the presuppositions that seem to be belying the technology and are commensurate with a disregard of the originary comprehension of being. A hermeneutic-phenomenological perspective is enacted. The report discerns the comprehension of being – the pre-thematic understanding of “is” – as the ownmost of human intelligence, identifies inconsistencies in the “artificial intelligence” appellation correlated to Dasein’s factical obliviousness to the existential (constitutive moment of human being), and lays out the case to replace the moniker to clarify the way AI is thought.
