| book description |
In a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into our everyday lives, this book poses the crucial psychological questions: How does AI influence our thinking, our perception, and our relationships? What does the interplay between humans and machines do to our psyche? And can machines ever imitate—or even surpass—human emotions, creativity, or morality? The book explores the psychological mechanisms triggered by human–machine interactions and examines whether machines can develop their own form of consciousness. It investigates the potential risks and opportunities that arise as we delegate more and more decisions and emotional connections to AI systems. The chapters range from analyses of machine consciousness and emotional intelligence to questions about how AI affects our autonomy and whether machines are capable of making moral decisions. By linking psychology, philosophy, and technology, the book shows that AI is not only a technological revolution but also a fundamental challenge to our self-understanding as human beings. It invites readers to confront the existential and psychological consequences of AI—and to critically reflect on our future role in a world increasingly shaped by intelligent machines.
