General Philosophical Implications of Contemporary Artificial Intelligence Programs

Abstract

The steady progress of artificial intelligence in tandem with science and philosophy has brought about a range of positive and negative effects across various disciplines. While providing conveniences in social and scientific realms, artificial intelligence technologies have also strengthened their relationship with philosophy by raising new questions and issues. The philosophical problem of consciousness remains relevant, and it has sparked fresh debates, particularly in areas such as art, ethics, free will, and law. The fundamental philosophical dimensions of artificial intelligence programs, including ethics, responsibility, and human-computer interaction, are subject to in-depth analysis in this field of study. While many of these discussions do not reach definitive conclusions, they contribute to both the intellectual accumulation in this field and the advancement of artificial intelligence itself. Considering the increasing significance of the philosophical aspect in future artificial intelligence studies, it is inevitable that efforts to comprehend the ethical and societal implications of artificial intelligence will grow. This work examines philosophical debates concerning art, consciousness, ethics, and free will, taking into account the current developments in artificial intelligence, and explores the emergence and future of artificial intelligence's need for philosophy.
