Abstract

This paper aims to highlight the life of computer technologies to understand what kind of 'technological intentionality' is present in computers based upon the phenomenological elements constituting the objects in general. Such a study can better explain the effects of new digital technologies on our society and highlight the role of digital technologies by focusing on their activities. Even if Husserlian phenomenology rarely talks about technologies, some of its aspects can be used to address the actions performed by the digital technologies by focusing on the objects' inner 'life' thanks to the analysis of passive synthesis and phenomenological horizons in the objects. These elements can be used in computer technologies to show how digital objects are 'alive.' This paper focuses on programs developed through high-order languages like C++ and unsupervised learning techniques like 'Generative Adversarial Model.' The phenomenological analysis reveals the computer's autonomy within the programming stages. At the same time, the conceptual inquiry into the digital system's learning ability shows the alive and changeable nature of the technological object itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
