Abstract

The relation of Deleuze and Guattari’s works to cognitive science, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is complicated: in some aspects, such as the ones touched upon in this article, the ontological commitments of classic cognitivism and traditional AI couldn’t be more distant from Deleuze and Guattari’s commitments to an expressionist philosophy. On the other hand, the ontological commitments of Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of the brain (Deleuze and Guattari, 1994), understood as a physiological organ that is shaped by external stimuli, is in some ways very close to those of cognitive science and more contemporarily, “brain science.” The purpose of this article is to enter into this dialogue between Deleuze and Guattari’s works and cognitive science and AI through three, related, Deleuzian concepts: desire’s relationship to objects (via part-objects), their concept of “maps” in relation to representation, and their concept of  “machines” and “machinic” assemblages.
