The development of artificial intelligence has sparked discussions about its influence on human freedom and autonomy. Some argue that the concerns about AI, often heightened by its creators for marketing reasons, should lead to a broader examination of what "new technologies" truly mean. Throughout history, technological advancements have helped humans progress by reducing the burden of labor, enabling people to explore the world and pursue education. For instance, the 19th-century industrial revolution not only introduced machines and economic growth but also contributed to the widespread availability of public education and the evolution of democratic values. Yet, the current "revolution" in new technologies—encompassing the Internet, social networks, and AI—has raised concerns among some that it may undermine these earlier gains. This era is characterized by a decreased willingness to exercise freedoms, which are not simply the right to act or speak freely, but also depend on political and social structures, hierarchies, and philosophical principles. The exercise of freedom requires vigilance, reflection, and responsibility, but modern societies are increasingly shaped by technologies that appear to influence actions, emotions, opinions, and even thoughts. People are frequently seen absorbed in their mobile devices, which have become essential parts of daily life. The idea of removing these devices, even briefly, particularly in educational environments, has ignited public debate. In this context, AI is seen as the final stage of a process in which humans may be gradually surrendering aspects of self-awareness, their connection to the world, and their free will. The question that remains is: if humans relinquish what makes them unique, what might follow?
