In the face of discourses that polarise the human and the machine as opposing entities, it can be recognised that AI beyond being understood as a simple tool, implies in itself a logical re-organisation that leads us to interrogate new ways of not only sensing the world, but also of sense-making and orientation in a present that requires new frameworks of thought.
