Dynamics of violence in a disruptive reality: accelerated dehumanization by AI

Abstract

This study must consider three main axes: 1) The concept of violence, 2) accelerated dehumanization, and 3) Artificial Intelligence. These are three complex and nonlinear concepts, which implies an implicit difficulty in relating them to understand a possible, yet not evident correlation. We start from the following hypothesis: Artificial Intelligence (AI) could contribute to the disruption of violence in a context of acceleration; due to the absence of ethics in decision-making, partly caused by the expansion of resonance absence. To understand this unsuspected myriad of phenomena, the research is based on the following authors: Hartmut Rosa, to interpret the issue of acceleration and resonance, Amartya Sen and Adela Cortina, for the variables of dehumanization as an act of violence. We apply their theoretical postulates as a way of interpreting decisions about the other, who ceases to be a peer, that is, a person, and moves to a state of reification.
