Information About

Ghost In The Machine (technology)




Ghost in the machine is the unknown cause of malfunction or unexplainable abnormal behavior of a machine or computer.

In '' I Robot '', Dr. Lanning says there will always be ghosts in the machine. In this sense the term is the reverse of the philosphical '' Ghost In The Machine '' and can be linked with emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI). Alternatively, the phenomenon can be seen as a perceptual problem of the observer, ascribing personhood in an Anthropomorphic manner to a mechanism.
