The paper has a review character, and the presented analysis is based on theoretical considerations referring to the works of other authors. The aim of the paper is to draw attention to the importance of human creativity in the context of technology development, with special emphasis on artificial intelligence. For the purpose of exploration, the study applies philosophical methods, especially methods typical of ethical reflections, also supported by the analysis of existing data derived from social sciences, especially contemporary sociology. The study is synthetic in nature and includes theoretical considerations concerning several issues. Positive and creative possibilities of using artificial intelligence in social and economic life were shown. Potential threats that may be associated with the inappropriate use of artificial intelligence – robots and information systems were also identified. Potential threats resulting from too much trust of people in algorithms were shown. Attention is focused on social and ethical aspects of the human-machine relationship, with special emphasis on the dimension of pragmatism, trust and fascination with new technologies, as well as the principles of robot ethics. A significant part of the considerations also refers to the effects of automation processes, including the functioning of the labour market, human creative abilities and appropriate competences. The third part of the study indicates still undeveloped research fields related to artificial intelligence. The conducted analysis may indicate the direction for further sociological and philosophical research that considers the specificity of the artificial intelligence functioning and seeks support in interdisciplinary research teams.

“…М. Воевода выделяет инженерно-прагматический, биологическиэволюционный и культурно-гуманистический нарративы, связанные с рефлексией киборгизации [13]. Этот дискурс заставляет нас обратить внимание на сложность восприятия исследуемого нами явления, обусловленное как оптимизмом, так и опасениями в отношении него.…”

“…Здесь поднимаются вопросы о природе самости и свободы воли, да и в целом человеческой сущности. Как отмечает М. Воевода вслед за рядом исследователей философии техники, существует опасение, что киборгизация может подавить свободу воли, поскольку человек откажется от своей автономии ради удобства или безопасности [13] Киборгизация человека также заставляет по-новому взглянуть на дихотомию между естественным и искусственным. В рамках инженернопрагматического нарратива искусственное -это просто то, что создано человеком, противостоящее биологическому.…”

“…Это является важным моментом для обеспечения и сохранения значимости общественных ценностей, которые важны для того, чтобы не утратить основы человеческой природы. Поэтому если рассматривать киборгизацию с культурногуманистических позиций, то она будет на первый взгляд восприниматься как угроза человеческому достоинству и автономии, что требует серьезных усилий для того, чтобы эти риски не рализировались [13].…”

Human Cyborgisation: Social and Cultural Aspects

The author of this article presents human cyborgisation as a paradigmatic shift in the evolution of Homo Sapiens, in which the integration of technology into the human body not only alters physical capabilities but also reshapes social and cultural landscapes. The paper examines a few current narratives surrounding the cyborgisation of the human and explores their implications for human identity, agency and, more generally, 'the human'. Drawing on several interdisciplinary sources, including the philosophical writings of contemporary scholars and the legal discourse on the specific situation in Slovenian jurisprudence, the author analyses an engineering-pragmatic narrative focused on human progress and enhancement and a cultural-humanist narrative based on the discourse on the preservation of human dignity and autonomy. The study also considers a biological-evolutionary perspective, which sees cyborgisation as one illustration of adaptability and a tool for human cognitive enhancement. Through this analysis, the author seeks to illuminate some facets of the complex interplay between technological progress and the social system within which modern humans exist, and to contribute to the debate on the role of cyborgisation in the ongoing development of humanity.

PurposeThis research aims to reveal the working principles of the decision mechanism that affects the use of neural implant acceptance and to discuss the leading role of digital literacy in this mechanism. In addition, it aimed to examine the theoretical connections of the research model with the conservation of resources (COR) and technology acceptance model (TAM) theories in the discussion.Design/methodology/approachThe authors collected data from 300 individuals in an organization operating in the health sector and analyzed the data in the Smart Partial Least Squares (PLS) 3.3.3. This way, the authors determined the relationships between the variables, the path coefficients and the significance levels.FindingsThe study has found that strong digital literacy skills are linked to positive emotions and attitudes. Additionally, maintaining a positive mindset can improve one's understanding of ethics. Ethical attitudes and positive emotions can also increase the likelihood of adopting neural implants. Therefore, it is crucial to consider both technical and ethical concerns and emotions when deciding whether to use neural implants.Originality/valueThe research results determined the links between the cognitive, emotional and ethical factors in the cyborgization process of the employees and gave original insights to the managers and employees.HighlightsDetermination of antecedents that affect individuals' acceptance of neural implant use.Application to 300 individuals working in a health organization.Path analysis using the least squares method via Smart PLS 3.3.3Significant path coefficients among digital literacy, positive emotions, attitude, ethical understanding and acceptance of neural implant use.
