In the Greek Mythology, Pygmalion fell in love with a sculpture named Galatea that he created. Pygmalion prayed to the goddess, Aphrodite, asking her to bring his statue to life. Galatea became a real human, and married to Pygmalion. In some versions, they had a child called Paphos. They named their child after a city, Paphos, where the birth of Aphrodite took place in the myth.
My thesis explores the relationship between human and artificial intelligence. It starts with the creation of artificial intelligence by one individual. As the story develops, it emphasizes the symbiotic relationships and the utilization of collective intelligence. It concludes by raising awareness about the misuse of power without moral consideration. This new technology enhances work efficiency and streamlines processes, but it should be regulated because of the heartless. As of now I’m writing this, the ethical use depends solely on a user’s morality, not legal frameworks.
