Künstliche Intelligenz und die Grenzen menschlicher Autonomie

From a philosophical perspective, this book considers whether artificial intelligence (AI) undermines human autonomy. Are we becoming increasingly controlled by external forces when AI makes decisions for us? Characteristics such as artificial autonomy, opacity and extreme speed could mark a tipping point at which self-determination gives way to external control. Responsibility becomes questionable when decisions are not transparent and human control is lost. At the same time, autonomous AI systems make it difficult to assess the truth and reliability of information. Ultimately, the book views AI as a form of 'smart power' that subtly—and often almost imperceptibly—influences our thinking, judgement and actions.
