Shrnutí:This paper revisits the notion of information from a philosophical perspective, assessing its social relevance and theoretical challenges in light of recent developments in AI and machine learning. The first section examines key definitional approaches to information. The second section explores critical perspectives that have shaped discussions on the concept in recent decades. The third section addresses fundamental problems, emphasizing the necessity of considering the transactional opposite of information — namely, noise — to develop a more comprehensive understanding of contemporary technological transformations.
