About

A. Elegbeleye is a critical voice in the philosophy of technology, focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence, human consciousness, and social theory. Their work challenges the prevailing techno-optimism by probing the psychological and existential costs of AI integration. Elegbeleye’s most cited paper, “Artificial intelligence, alienation and ontological problems of other minds: A critical investigation into the future of man and machines” (2017, 44 citations), offers a rigorous philosophical critique of how AI may exacerbate human alienation and complicate our understanding of other minds. Drawing on phenomenological and existential frameworks, Elegbeleye argues that the uncanny nature of machine interaction risks deepening ontological insecurity rather than fostering genuine connection. This contribution stands out for its willingness to question foundational assumptions in AI ethics and human-machine relations, offering a counterpoint to mainstream narratives of progress. Elegbeleye’s work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the darker implications of digital life, reminding us that technological advancement must be weighed against its potential to erode the very fabric of human social experience.
