The Threatened Equality: A Philosophical Reading in Artificial Intelligence Revolution.

Abstract

Through this paper, we seek to investigate the challenges facing the concept of equality and the transformations it has undergone in the midst of the artificial intelligence revolution, as well as the Transhumanist project that has emerged from the application of this intelligence across various areas of life. This aims to deepen our examination of a complex issue concerning the impact of artificial intelligence on the concept of equality. At first glance, artificial intelligence may appear to strengthen efforts to establish equality and reduce disparities among human beings. In reality, however, it may lead to the very demise of equality, as it creates a new reality in which humanity becomes divided against itself into two groups: one that benefits from the services of artificial intelligence, particularly in the healthcare sector, by virtue of possessing the means of wealth; and another, fundamentally different group, deprived of such benefits due to its lack of financial resources. We have therefore concluded that the artificial intelligence revolution does not so much reduce social disparities as lay the foundations for ontological inequality among members of the human species.
