Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI), an ever-evolving technological frontier, stands poised at the nexus of human ingenuity and innovation, catalyzing transformative shifts across myriad facets of contemporary existence. Since its inception in the mid-20th century, AI has evolved from rudimentary algorithms to sophisticated neural networks, becoming ubiquitous. From shaping the way we communicate and conduct research to bolstering security measures and revolutionizing healthcare, the influence of AI is inexorably seeping into global socio-cultural lives. However, this incursion into the human domain is not without its complexities and ethical problems, prompting a reflective journey into the intersection of AI and our shared reality. This research paper explores AI’s constant advance and its symbiotic relationship with humanity, as delineated in Vauhini Vara’s provocative novel, The Immortal King Rao. Drawing from the multifaceted canvas of AI’s influence, this research seeks to unravel the implications of AI systems and their convergence with governance, ethics and distributive justice, human evolution, and environmental consequences, ultimately illuminating the complex fabric that binds technology to the collective human experience.
