Artificial Intelligence and New Paradigms of Human Decision Making: Towards a New Idea of Humanity?

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) is triggering a profound transformation in human society, marking what is often referred to as 'the fourth revolution.' This shift is characterized by the integration of humans into the 'infosphere,' a reimagined realm of digital existence where the distinction between online and offline experiences becomes blurred. This paper explores the implications of AI's rise on traditional human decision-making paradigms, proposing a novel framework for understanding humanity's role in an increasingly automated world. The research investigates how AI systems, equipped with autonomy and norm-awareness, pose new challenges and opportunities for reshaping humanistic, ethical, and legal norms. By utilizing theoretical insights and practical examples, we examine the dual 'fit' of digital-to-world and world-to-digital transformations, highlighting AI's potential to redefine human agency and societal interactions. The paper argues for a "new humanities" approach that advocates for an active role in guiding the ethical development and integration of AI technologies, ensuring they foster rather than hinder, human values and social paradigms. This study calls for multidisciplinary collaborations to address the ethical and practical challenges presented by AI, with an emphasis on creating frameworks that align technological advancements with human-centric goals.
