Epistemología sin sujeto: desubjetivación y saber en la era de la inteligencia artificial

Abstract

The essay examines the transformation of knowledge and creation in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), offering a philosophical reflection on contemporary desubjectivation. What does knowledge without a subject mean? To address this question, three dimensions are explored: creativity, originality, and creation without subject. These serve to rethink the relationship between knowledge, technique, and subjectivity. Creativity is presented as a relational phenomenon between conception and execution, reactivated by AI, which no longer depends on human interiority but on the interaction between subject and algorithm. Originality is analyzed as a modern illusion: the new never emerges from nothing but as a variation within repetition. Thus, AI reorganizes traditions and generates effects of novelty that depend on context and memory. Finally, the notion of creation without subject confronts Kierkegaard’s idea of subjectivity with the desubjectivation described by Han, Heidegger, and Yuk Hui. It is suggested that, far from eliminating the subject, technology decenters it, opening a horizon in which creation resembles Averroes’ sea of the common intellect, a shared space of meaning between the human and the artificial.
