Abstract or Description

To consider various types of ‘digital practices’ I would like to talk about the relationship between digital devices, which includes artificial intelligence, and the body. Digital practices are everywhere in our everyday life. Not just ChatGPT in our academic world, but through various computer programmes, in banking system, stock market database, international flight control system, retailing marketing database, security system, self-tracking tools, data assimilation in weather forecasting, medical data system and art world. Computer programmes with artificial intelligence are usually implemented into software. Softwares are often designed to be invisible for users to be able to control effortless and intuitively. It is, therefore, generally considered that software and AI itself do not have a physical body. Here, I would like to emphases the significance of physical body in order to better understand potential implications of current/future AI society.
