Almost 200 years have passed since the publication of E.T.A. Hoffmann's Der Sandmann and Alex Garland's science fiction film Ex Machina. And yet both ask amazingly similar questions about human integrity in the face of artificial intelligence. The humanoid machines act as objects of reflection, from which it can be seen that the essence of human beings is always only contoured in an omnipresent network of power relations and by imitating normative behavior patterns. These power relations and performative acts are discussed in more detail in this work, among other things, by referring back to the concepts of panoptism and performativity. Posthuman subjects are thus negotiated as both a danger and an enlightenment for the human being.

This chapter aims to create new knowledge regarding artificial intelligence (AI) ethics and relevant subjects while reviewing ethical relationship between human beings and AI/robotics and linking between the moral fabric or the ethical issues of AI as used in fictions and films. It carefully analyses how a human being will love robot and vice versa. Here, fictions and films are not just about technology but about their feelings and the nature of bonding between AIs and the human race. Ordinary human beings distrust and then start to like AIs. However, if the AI becomes a rogue as seen in many fictions and films, then the AI is taken down to avoid the destruction of the human beings. Scientists like Turing are champions of robot/AI's feelings. Fictional and movie AIs are developed to keenly watch and comprehend humans. These actions are so close to empathy they amount to consciousness and emotional quotient.

AbstractPhilosophy as well as anthropology is a discipline concerned with what it means to be human, and hence with investigating the multiple ways of making sense of human life. An important task in this process is to remain open to diverse conceptions of human beings, not least conceptions that may on the face of it appear to be morally alien. A case in point are conceptions that are bound up with cannibalism, a practice sometimes assumed to be so morally scandalous that it probably never happens, at least in a culturally sanctioned form. Questioning this assumption, along with Cora Diamond's contention that the very concept of a human being involves a prohibition against consuming human flesh, the present article explores how cannibalism can have an intelligible place in a human society – exemplified by the Wari’ of western Brazil. By coming to see this, we are enabled to enlarge our conception of the heterogeneity of possible ways of being human.

Today humans live in the millennial era. The era that is a continuation of this global era has created new challenges that must be transformed into opportunities that can be put to good use, so that challenge brings a blessing for everyone to do. Since the millennial era besides having similarities also has differences, especially in the use of digital technology that goes beyond the computer era, this kaeadaan has invited a number of experts to speak out and at the same time offer a number of thoughts and ideas in dealing with it. Islamic education with various types and levels, ranging from traditional pesantren that is non-formal, hinggapesantren modern with various programs, ranging from kindergarten to college, is institutionally part of the national education system. With such a position, Islamic education will inevitably have to contribute, even responsible menak prepare human beings in the millennial era. That is a human being who is able to change challenges into opportunities, and can use them for his own material and spiritual welfare. This paper seeks to explore the potential contained in Islamic education with various types and levels in the face of challenges in the millennial era. This paper begins by presenting the characteristics and challenges of the millennial era, social problems and their impact on life.

The intervention starts from the observation that technology is a tool for the transformation of reality that is itself “neutral”, i.e. usable for different and even opposite purposes, while law is a tool to orient, to condition and to govern human behaviours in relation to social ends, that is to say, what is right or better for society. Hence the intrinsic “finalism” of law, and the fundamental difference between the “power” of technology and the juridical power that is exercised for social purposes and to settle conflicts of interests between individuals and between communities. It then examines the potential and limitations of the use of computer techniques to perform legal acts; the new role of law in the face of the growth of technological “powers” of data collection and use; the demand to adapt the regulation of relationships between individuals (such as labour relationships) in the face of technological changes in reality; the problems of “relocation” of the law related to the development of the Internet; the new demands to legal powers to regulate phenomena such as the genetic manipulation of the human being and the use of artificial intelligence, with a view to safeguarding the essence of being “human”.

I present two conceptions of the human being and art: that of Renaud—the main fictional character of a short novel written by Vercors—and that of Albert Camus. Although these French resistance fighters experienced the same war, the same terrible events surprisingly lead them to opposite extremes: the first one to despair and the rejection of art perceived as an unbearable lie, the second one to hope and to artistic commitment. Analogical reasoning allows us to show both the similarities and the distinctions between these two men or, more precisely, between what they tell us about human beings and art. Thanks to this, it is easier to understand the essential role the artist plays and his duty towards humankind. Moreover, in the work of Albert Camus, we will see that revolt is—and must be—connected to love.

La robótica, en particular la que tiene figura humana –androide- se muestra como un ámbito de desarrollo presente y futuro. Desde la Unión Europea se estudia la futura regulación de las cuestiones éticas y jurídicas que inciden en la robótica en su relación con el ser humano. Se pretende una regulación que persiga la protección de todas las personas que interactúen con robots. El estudio de la evolución de la imagen del robot es mucho más antiguo que su regulación, y está presente en prácticamente todas las disciplinas artísticas. En la cinematografía, en particular, la robótica es una temática recurrente dentro del ámbito de la ciencia ficción. En el artículo se presenta un estudio de la imagen y categoría ética del robot cinematográfico desde los orígenes del cine; analizando su visión desde el ser humano. En dicha evolución se observa el gran peso de la imagen androide, que genera respeto, miedo, incertidumbre; frente a los robots máquinas. Tras el estudio de la evolución de la imagen del robot resulta posible enfrentar con mayor claridad los retos jurídicos que se afrontan. La imagen del robot es fundamental; y más aún en los colectivos necesitados de una protección especial. Ello puede llevar a concluir la necesidad de controlar la imagen del robot y su semejanza con el ser humano en los supuestos de interacción con sujetos necesitados de protección, que no distingan fácilmente realidad de ficción, por razón de edad o de limitaciones físicas temporales o permanentes. Robotics, in particular that which has a human figure -android- is shown as a sphere of present and future development. The European Union studies the future regulation of ethical and legal issues that affect robotics in its relationship with human beings. The aim is to regulate the protection of all people who interact with robots. The study of the evolution of the image of the robot is much older than its regulation, and is present in virtually all artistic disciplines. In cinematography, in particular, robotics is a recurring theme within the field of science fiction. The article presents a study of the image and ethical category of the cinematographic robot from the origins of cinema; Analyzing his vision from the human being. In this evolution the great weight of the android image is observed, which generates respect, fear, uncertainty; in front of the robots machines. After studying the evolution of the robot's image, it is possible to face with greater clarity the legal challenges that are faced. The image of the robot is fundamental; and even more so in groups in need of special protection. This may lead to the conclusion of the need to control the image of the robot and its resemblance to the human being in the cases of interaction with subjects in need of protection, who do not easily distinguish reality from fiction, due to age or temporary or permanent physical limitations .

The article explores how artificial intelligence is constructed in a female body and showcases the boundaries between human and technological traits, as well as the relationship between human beings and technology. The article defines the notion of artificial intelligence and discusses how artificial intelligence is portrayed in science fiction films. The article does not attempt to provide new theoretical insights into artificial intelligence but, instead, to show how artificial intelligence is characterised in the context of modern science fiction films. Two contemporary science fiction films, which focus on the artificial intelligence in the female body, are analysed: Alex Garland’s Ex Machina (2014) and Spike Jonze’s Her (2013). The analysis of the films showcases the blurred lines between being a human and being a robot: AI in the female body is portrayed as having adequate cognitive abilities and an ability to experience or to realistically imitate various mental states. The AI embodiment found in the films explores different narratives: the anthropomorphic body (Ex Machina) motivates to get to know the world and thus expands one’s experience, while the partial embodiment (Her) “programs” intellectual actions and development beyond the human body. Ex Machina highlights the anti-humanity of the female robot: another (human) life is devalued in order to pursue a goal. On the contrary, Her highlights the hyper-humanity of the operating system: continuous improvements exceed the boundaries of communication with other people.

New developments in technology may cause massive changes in the organizational and managerial contexts as well as daily life. The aim of the research is to discuss how AI may affect the future of business life in respect to leadership and management. Additionally, questioning the possibility of artificial intelligence leadership. For this purpose, AI will be evaluated with regard to managerial roles defined by Henry Mintzberg. Evaluation of the managerial roles within the scope of AI leads us to think that AI will have a rich potential to lead and manage human beings. According to capabilities of AI, it can be suggested that AI might produce better results than human beings in the context of the managerial roles. AI leadership discussion gives a chance to shed light on today's management practices in a critical manner by comparing imagined AI with human being managers.

The healthcare sector is considered to be one of the largest and fast-growing industries in the world. Innovations and novel approaches have always remained the prime aims in order to bring massive development. Before the emergence of technology, all the sectors, including the healthcare sector was dependant dependent on man power, which was time-consuming, and less accurate with lack of efficiency. With the recent advancements in machine learning, the condition is has been steadily revolutionizing. in the practice of the health care industry. Artificial Intelligence intelligence (AI) lies in the computer science department, which stresses on the intelligent machines’ creation, that work and react just like human beings. In simple words, AI is the capability of a computer program to think and learn, almost satisfying natural intelligence. It is the ability of a system to interpret the external data correctly, learn from it and finally use those learnings to execute some particular goals and tasks through adaptation. It utilizes multiple technologies to comprehend, act and understand from past experiences. Involving AI is not a science fiction that was once a very long time ago. It AI being an emerging technology has been adopted in various facets of healthcare ranging from drug discovery to patient monitoring. rapidly penetrated its wings developed itself into almost all the industries. Irrespective of the person’s background, whether he/she is a student, industry worker, an entrepreneur, or a scientist, having basic knowledge about the importance and applications of AI would be impactful. Currently, the applications of AI has have been expanding into those fields, which was once thought to be the only domain of human expertise such as health care sector. In this review article, we have shedthrown light on the present usage of AI in the healthcare sector, such as its working, and the way this system is being implemented in different domains, such as drug discovery, diagnosis of diseases, clinical trials, remote patient monitoring, and nanotechnology. We have also slightlybriefly touched upon its applications in touching other sectors as well. The public opinions have also been analyszed and discussed along with the future prospects.The main goals have been briefed. prospects. We have discussed the Along with the merits, we have also discussed about and the other side of AI, i.e. the disadvantages of this as wellin the last part of the manuscript.
