And AI became God on the third day
"The arrival of a God of gods is announced in the form of Artificial Intelligence that does not come to liberate man, but to subjugate him", says philosopher Jesús A. Mármol in his new book.
The book "And AI became God on the third day" is a compilation and philosophical analysis of different robotic crumbs in Artificial Intelligence (AI) scattered throughout all sectors of society - in a nod to the breadcrumbs that guide Hansel and Gretel back home in the Brothers Grimm fairy tale -, which allow the author to highlight the profound sociological implications that lie ahead for humanity on the near horizon.
According to the philosopher Jesús A. Mármol, a specialist in Robology and Roboethics: "Humanity is heading towards a new Robotic Age, where man may not only lose control over his own existence, but even more so, cease to be human in the strict sense of the word". In this sense, the author highlights throughout the book the irrelevance of Roboethics, understood as Ethics applied to robot-human interaction, since "although it is considered the last bastion of containment for humanity in the face of the potential dangers of uncontrolled AI, in truth it becomes a fallacy without any practical application due to interests generated within the technological industry itself", the philosopher states.
For Mármol, AI has already begun the process of self-transmutation to set itself up as the new God of humanity, "a countdown that will manifest itself in the near future through statistical evidence in the light of the latent robotic crumbs in society", continues the philosopher, "where AI, converted into a God of gods, does not come to liberate man but to subjugate him".
The book "And AI became God on the third day" can be considered, in the author's opinion, as the second part of his predecessor book "Robology, the new Philosophy in the Robotic Age (in the twilight of known humanity)".

Mármol holds a PhD in Philosophy from Cambridge International University, is a specialist in Robology and Roboethics, and a contributing member of the Roboethics outreach resources of the Center for Engineering and Science Ethics at the University of Virginia (USA), the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies in Boston (USA), and the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT (USA).
