“…According to Bernard Stiegler, recent developments in artificial intelligence can be viewed as the latest stage in the exteriorization of the imagination (Wellner, 2021 : 200). Both Stiegler and Derrida describe technologies as pharmaka , a concept that, as its original Greek meaning suggests, denotes either a “remedy” or a “poison,” depending on how it is used (Pavanini, 2022 : 11; Vlieghe, 2014 : 529). As we will see, I agree that artificial intelligence (AI) is a pharmakon and thus that it can have both positive and negative effects depending on how it is used.…”

In this paper, I explore Derrida’s concept of exteriorization in relation to texts generated by machine learning. I first discuss Heidegger’s view of machine creation and then present Derrida’s criticism of Heidegger. I explain the concept of iterability, which is the central notion on which Derrida’s criticism is based. The thesis defended in the paper is that Derrida’s account of iterability provides a helpful framework for understanding the phenomenon of machine learning–generated literature. His account of textuality highlights the incalculability and mechanical elements characteristic of all texts, including machine-generated texts. By applying Derrida’s concept to the phenomenon of machine creation, we can deconstruct the distinction between human and non-human creation. As I propose in the conclusion to this paper, this provides a basis on which to consider potential positive uses of machine learning.

ZusammenfassungMobile Gesundheitstechnologien (mHealth) fördern den Trend hin zu Eigenverantwortung und Selbstmanagement. Ziel des Beitrags ist es, am Beispiel von Diabetes mellitus Typ 2 (T2DM) die Diskussion zu mHealth, Eigenverantwortung und Gerechtigkeit – welche es bisher nur in Ansätzen gibt – aus einer Public-Health-ethischen Perspektive zu vertiefen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass mHealth im Bereich T2DM soziale Gesundheitsgerechtigkeit einerseits verbessern, andererseits aber auch soziale Gesundheitsungerechtigkeiten verschärfen kann. Aus einer gerechtigkeitsfokussierten, Public-Health-ethischen Perspektive auf T2DM-mHealth ist es notwendig, besser zu verstehen, ob und wie vulnerable Bevölkerungsgruppen bei mHealth-Entwicklung und -Einsatz mitbedacht werden, wie sie die Nutzung der Technologie erleben, welche sozialepidemiologischen Auswirkungen der zunehmende Einsatz von mHealth haben kann, welche gesundheitlichen Ungleichheiten im Bereich T2DM ungerecht sind, inwieweit die Eigenverantwortung in die Hände der Nutzenden gelegt werden soll und wo die Grenzen der Eigenverantwortung liegen. Die Berücksichtigung der sozialen Diversität und der sozialen Determinanten von Gesundheit ist ein stetiger Prozess und muss alle Phasen der Entwicklung und des Einsatzes von mHealth durchziehen.

This is a commentary piece on Marco Pavanini's article ' ‘Multistability and Derrida’s Différance: Investigating the Relations Between Postphenomenology and Stiegler’s General Organology' in which I critically extend upon his comparative analysis of postphenomenology''s notion of multistability and Stiegler's conception of organology, focusing in particular on the pharmacological nature of Stiegler's organology and the latter's most recent re-interpretation of it in terms of entropy and negentropy. Among other things I show, and both are more intended as additions than criticisms with respect to Pavanini’s very helpful comparison, (1) that the most important concern for Stiegler in theorizing technology is the fact that the transductive relations between the three organ systems distinguished in his pharmaco-organology of technology open up affective or libidinal circuits between these systems, i.e., circuits either of desire or drive depending on the way the pharmakon is adopted or not, and that these circuits are fundamentally noetic circuits vulnerable to denoetization; and (2) that these libidinal-noetic circuits as conditioned by technology should be interpreted in terms of entropy and negentropy. Both insights are lacking in postphenomenology, which generally fails to consider the irreducibly destitutive character of all technology, rightfully emphasized by Pavanini, since it lacks a genuine pharmacological awareness.
