Human and Philosophical Reflections in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: When Man Becomes the Question
This book offers a profound intellectual and human reflection on the deep transformations brought about by the rise of artificial intelligence, not only as a technological achievement but as a philosophical and cultural turning point that reshapes our perception of both humanity and the world. When machines begin to mimic our consciousness, technology ceases to be merely a tool and becomes a mirror that reflects our contradictions, perhaps even reshaping us from within. With a blend of practical experience and insightful contemplation, Yasser Elshantaf explores this transformation, addressing questions of identity, privacy, as well as conscience, freedom, and justice, all of which are core values subtly redefined within digital systems that do not always reveal their logic. In this work, the personal intersects with the philosophical, and the technical with the existential, as the most profound questions are posed without the language of advocacy or warning. This is not a call for rejection, but an exercise in understanding; it is not a cry against technology, but an attempt to restore the self... before it loses its voice.
