Artificial Intelligence: From Conceptual Disruption to the Disruption of Life

Abstract

University and academic research today is scarcely devoid of studies devoted to artificial intelligence. This is because scientific development no longer merely serves human beings; rather, the technological explosion embodied in a revolution termed “artificial intelligence” has affected every field of knowledge, every sphere of life, and, consequently, every segment of society. This reality has led us, at the outset, to question the concept itself. We do not seek to offer a single, definitive definition; rather, we endeavour to establish a conceptual framework that enables us to identify what we are confronting and to understand the dynamic linguistic field surrounding it. If artificial intelligence is grounded in ordinary language to transform it into another universal language, namely, digital language, how does this mechanism operate? If its spread has taken the form and speed described above, what should human beings do, and how should they act?
