Digital Transformation of the Family in the Shadow of Artificial Intelligence

A Philosophical and Ethical Evaluation

Abstract

Throughout history, science and technology have sometimes generated new thought structures and life forms based on their own epistemological and ontological foundations, while at other times, even ideologies in theoretical contexts have acted as determining forces directing scientific production and technological developments. With the Industrial Revolution, mechanization brought about industrial living spaces and urbanization, while also affecting values, social structures, and family formations. Today, with the information revolution, cybernetics and information technologies are forming a new social model and family structure through the paradigm of data/information. The issue of objectification, which replaces the ethical subjectivity of the modern human constructed by the information world, constitutes a significant problem area in philosophical anthropology. In this study, the philosophical and ethical issues and problems that form the basis of the information revolution's individual, family and social transformation, and the reflections of artificial intelligence technologies that form the basis of change and transformation on the family are discussed in interdisciplinary contexts.
