Exploring the Balance of Power Humans vs. Artificial Intelligence with Some Question

EasyChair Preprint 12598

Abstract

Who dominates the destiny of the world, humans or artificial intelligence
(AI)? This question strikes at the very heart of contemporary
humanity’s existential anxieties about its future. If we want to seriously
consider whether or not unfriendly AI ‘neurons’ pose any threat to human
civilisation and humanity’s continual existence and evolution in the Universe,
we need to know as much as possible about the Universe in which
we find ourselves, our place in it, and what cognition, consciousness and
mentality really are.
How might we combine philosophical, cognitive science and technological
perspectives, to explore the evolving relationship between humans
and AI, in order to engage and address the questions at the core of this
human-AI complex, namely the future of civilisation – what will it look
like, who can claim to be our successors, towards what goals and ends?
The evolution and development of human cognition as well as the emergence
of AI can help us define these potential paths of future development.
Where do we stand today, in relation to our own history and development
and to the possibilities that artificial intelligence can offer us? The essay
explores the ethical, social and existential questions that arise from the
increasing automation of artificial intelligence and how it relates to the
story of humanity, from its origins to its contemporary cultural expression.

Keyphrases: Artificial Intelligence, cognitive science and technological, technological advances
