About
Dr. David O. Igbokwe is a philosopher of technology whose work critically examines the intersection of artificial intelligence, human consciousness, and social ethics. His research centers on the ontological and existential implications of AI, particularly exploring how advanced machines may reshape human identity, alienation, and our understanding of other minds. In his most cited work, "Artificial intelligence, alienation and ontological problems of other minds: A critical investigation into the future of man and machines" (2017, 44 citations), Igbokwe challenges prevailing techno-optimism by probing the deeper philosophical risks of AI—arguing that the very tools designed to augment human life may also deepen existential estrangement. This contribution stands out for its rare synthesis of phenomenological philosophy with contemporary AI discourse, offering a sobering counterpoint to mainstream narratives. Igbokwe’s scholarship is notable for bridging classical concerns about alienation with cutting-edge technological change, making him a distinctive voice in the philosophy of AI. His work invites students and researchers to reconsider not just what machines can do, but what it means to be human in an increasingly automated world.
