Artificial Intelligence in Society: Balancing Innovation, Creativity, and Ethical Responsibility

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a specialized computational tool into a transformative force, influencing multiple aspects of human life. Its applications in creativity, decision-making, and automation have generated both optimism and anxiety. While AI offers opportunities to enhance human creativity, improve efficiency, and support complex problem-solving, it simultaneously raises challenges related to human identity, ethical responsibility, and social values. This paper presents a conceptual analysis of AI as both an opportunity and a challenge, with particular focus on creativity, human identity, and ethical considerations. The study emphasizes the need for a balanced, human-centered approach to AI development and governance to ensure that technological progress aligns with ethical and societal well-being.
