But today we are no longer dealing with a simple \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eprosthesis of the body\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e-we are dealing with a \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eprosthesis of thought\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eArtificial intelligence is not a tool, it is an interlocutor. It is not a machine that obeys, but a reality that learns, imitates, anticipates. Faced with it, man feels the thrill of the creator and the thrill of his possible replacement.\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time in history, human beings have built something that thinks. And they do not know if this thought still belongs to them.\u003cbr\u003eEvery innovation produces a promise and a loss. The promise is freedom from fatigue, error, and limitation. The loss is the measure of our humanity, that fragile and slow part that resists automatism.\u003cbr\u003eIn an attempt to correct ourselves, we risk erasing ourselves.\u003cbr\u003eArtificial intelligence is a lens that amplifies collective intelligence but, at the same time, confuses it. Algorithms not only show us the world: they organize it, interpret it, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003edecide\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e it.\u003cbr\u003eThey tell us who we are before we even discover it ourselves.\u003cbr\u003eAnd so, while machines learn from us, we learn to think like them-according to the logic of prediction, efficiency, calculation, and optimization.\u003cbr\u003eBut the essence of humanity is not in prediction: it is in the unexpected.\u003cbr\u003eIn creative error, in doubt, in slowness, in the poetry of what escapes the code.\u003cbr\u003eThis book stems from a simple and terrible question: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003ecan we still call ourselves free if we are no longer the only ones thinking?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will not find here a manifesto against technology, nor an uncritical faith in progress. Instead, you will find a path: a journey through philosophy, psychoanalysis, sociology, and spirituality - in an attempt to understand what is happening inside and outside of us in this momentous transition.\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps artificial intelligence is not the end of humanity, but an unexpected and dizzying opportunity to start searching again for what it really means \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eto be human\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eA heartfelt thank you goes to those who, perhaps intrigued by the title or subject matter, are considering purchasing this book. I hope that within these pages you will find useful insights, new ideas, and a clearer perspective on what awaits us in the age of artificial intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe future belongs to those who choose to understand it.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47574680141975,"sku":"9798277970973","price":1167.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798277970973.webp?v=1774896083","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/artificial-intelligence-and-the-future-of-humankind-risks-challenges-and-ethical-possibilities-in-the-new-digital-age-9798277970973","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
