Human studies
Human studies, and in particular, philosophy, linguistics, and art have always been integral to defining and underpinning our humanity, as they encapsulate the rich history of human development and creativity, which thrives on imperfection.
Preserving our right to be imperfect is crucial in safeguarding our autonomy amidst the pervasive influence of optimisation and perfection ideals deeply ingrained in society and artificial intelligence. The age of digitalisation has reshaped our thinking and creativity. As machines outshine and surpass us in the pursuit of technological perfection, embracing our imperfections becomes a sanctuary.
To regain our core humanity, we turn to philosophy, linguistics, and art as they offer insights and answers to the profound questions arising from our race towards technological optimisation. They can help us reclaim our essence and navigate the AI era while preserving the fundamental qualities that make us human.
