CONNOTATIONS of POSTHUMAN CONSTRUCTS AND REALIGNMENT of PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

In recent decades, there have been remarkable advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybernetics, resulting in a transformative merging of human and machine capabilities. AI, driven by deep learning, neural networks, and data analytics, is rapidly encroaching on tasks that were once the exclusive domain of human intelligence. This development carries profound implications for our understanding of consciousness, decision-making, and even the very definition of creativity. Simultaneously, Cybernetics, which explores the dynamics of control and communication within living organisms and machines, deepens the relationship between humans and technology.

Philosophy, as the reflective cornerstone of human thought, emerges as the arena where these transformations are contemplated. Fundamental questions about personhood, ethics in AI-driven decision-making, and the very essence of intelligence come to the forefront. This study offers a concise overview of this interdisciplinary exploration, tracing the historical development of AI and Cybernetics, addressing ethical dilemmas, and exploring the implications for philosophical discourse. Understanding the convergence of human and machine is not solely an academic pursuit but a profound reflection on the evolving landscape of human existence. This research aims to contribute to the ongoing discussion about the future of AI, Cybernetics, and the philosophical inquiries that underlie this intriguing convergence.
