Abstract

This study explores the evolving circumstances of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications for humanity. A central question guides this exploration: “What is humanity in a world with human-like machines?” as proposed by Suleyman (2023). Multiple streams of literature have been integrated to employ a holistic approach. This includes an extensive literature review and analysis of recent developments, incorporating insights from various sources and experts in key domains such as AI, AI singularity, ethics, digital transformation, human-machine collaboration, and societal implications. While rapid advancements in generative AI have captured widespread attention, with a particular emphasis on its positive potential, it is equally vital to address its potential negative impacts, including human displacement, lower wages, and increased power and income inequality (Farina, Yu, and Lavazza 2024). Despite varying scholarly perspectives on the concept of generative AI, there is a consensus that it significantly impacts humans and society and requires careful consideration. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the European Parliament highlight the global significance of addressing its challenges. From a practical perspective, these insights have enormous implications for governments, business leaders, scholars, and society.
