The AI Shape and Post-Human in Cultural Content

Abstract

Background:Since the 1980s, when artificial intelligence began to be commercially used, humans have always wanted to express the post-human era. When discussing modern and future societies, AI has become indispensable, and someday artificial intelligence may face a reality that replaces humans. Numerous cultural contents show such an appearance. The development of artificial intelligence technology is leading to a fundamental change in perception of human nature.

Objectives: This paper seeks to find expressions of artificial intelligence and post-human that appear in various forms in cultural contents to interpret and understand modern social aspects of human beings and the development of technology.

Methods:The study is conducted by visiting text and various websites as primary data. We can see artificial intelligence through many literary works and movies, and furthermore, we will be able to seek an understanding of post-human.

Results:The AI era has arrived. Currently, AI is intertwined in human life like parts. However, AI will develop further in the future. Therefore, humans will radically change AI, and AI will fundamentally change human lives. Such aspects are being realized in many cultural contents such as movies and literary works. Humans now have to think deeply about post-humans by coexisting with AI. Many people say that AI exists for a better society. But what challenges will AI have to address in order to continue to be useful to humans? Before answering, it's important to have a clear understanding of the impact of AI on human society. Fortunately, cultural content kindly shows the image of the post-human era.

Conclusions: First, human fears and expectations for AI will continue for a long time. Research on human reflection and more possibilities is needed. Therefore, humanities research will be as necessary as technical and engineering research. Second, as AI develops more and more, our society needs various preparations to cope with it. The discussion of post-human is one of them. Cultural content, such as movies and literary works, allows us to get closer to it.
