Abstract
Rapid technological and scientific advancement
has been considered a mixed blessing in the society of individuals. Beyond its
positive outcomes, its negative impacts on humanity are a call for concern. The
revolution in science and technology has led to the emergence of trans-humanist
ideologies, which include the revolutionary force of artificial intelligence to
replace human intelligence in almost all domains of human endeavor. Increase
desire of individuals to get more acquainted with the utility of artificial
intelligence is gradually resulting to the artificialization of the society of
individuals. Faced with this scenario, this study seeks to unveil the imminent
effects of artificial intelligence technology on individuals and society within
the new age context. Using an analytico-critical approach, the study reveals
that rapid and eventual innovation in artificial intelligence technology has
and will generate long-lasting effects on the society of individuals. Some of
the effects emanating from this technology include individual laziness (due to
too much dependency), normative dimensions (through the denigration of human
values), and socio-political dimensions (through its role in society and its
governing policies and structures). This paper argues for the necessity of
offering new orientations to techno-scientific operationality that has led to
the emergence of artificial intelligence while avoiding the risk of it abuse.
As the actual world continue to glorify the power and utility of artificial intelligence,
it is crucial for policymakers and society as a whole to carefully consider its
implications and ensure that it is used in a responsible and ethical manner.
This is to ensure a balance between techno-scientific progress and human
progress.
