Artificial intelligence. Political emotions. Ethics. Philosophy of technology. Democracy.Abstract
The article analyzes the impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) and social networks on contemporary subjectivity, highlighting how these technologies promote a “reflective opacity” in the modern subject. Based mainly on Floridi, AI is discussed as the “fourth epistemological revolution,” which redefines the human-machine relationship in the infosphere. Next, based on Antoinette Rouvroy, it examines how the algorithmization of life transforms individuals into data, eroding autonomy and ethics, while hyperconnection generates alienation and fragmentation of public space. Finally, it presents how philosophy persists as a fundamental domain and refuge for thinking about these new problems.
