Man and Machine in the perspective of Convergence and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The subject of consideration is the relationship between man and machine in developing new technologies. It concerns communication, language, acting and performing appropriate social roles. Man in the mediatized world plays the role of: sender, user, prosumer and customer. Equipped with knowledge, competences and action skills, he has to face a multitude of cybernetic assistants, avatars, bots, robots, androids. Digital transformation and development of nanotechnology, biotechnology, cognitive and information technology have resulted in a prominent place for artificial intelligence in the relationship between man and machine. This paper presents a report on artificial intelligence research, identifying areas of opportunity for humans as well as those that pose a threat.
