These are questions about God, humanity, and the universe; questions asked by the Greeks, then by the Muslims, and later by the Europeans. Today, however, humanity faces a different rather question, one that is sharper and more urgent. This question no longer concerns the external world or what serves humanity; it is about the human being himself, about what was once believed to be exclusively his: his mind, his thinking, and his ability to create, understand, and interpret.
The artificial intelligence did not emerge overnight. Its foundations have been built over decades, drawing from the intersections of mathematics, logic, neuroscience, philosophy, and computer science, gradually reaching a threshold in recent years that redefines what is possible. Yet, what distinguishes the current moment is not merely the accumulation of technological potential, but the fact that this accumulation has reached a point where existential questions demand answers that cannot be postponed: What is a human being? What defines us? And where is the dividing line between us and what we have created with our own hands?
