Comment: I have moved this back to drafts, because there is no evidence that the subject is notable. All the sources are by Spitz, apart from the predatory one (#4) which arguably shouldn't be cited at all. We need to see evidence of the concept being discussed more widely than only by the person who coined it. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Techistentialism is the concept that explores the nature of human beings, existence, and decision-making in a world shaped by technology. It argues that the existential and technological aspects of human existence are becoming inextricably linked and can no longer be separated, especially as artificial intelligence systems produce decision outcomes.[1]
Definition[edit]
The term Techistentialism is a portmanteau between technology and existentialism. The concept originated with author Roger Spitz, an expert in strategic foresight. Spitz developed the idea throughout extensive writing on the future of artificial intelligence and strategic decision-making.[2]
Philosophical Foundations[edit]
Technology is beginning to shape society with algorithms already making decisions that determine most of human life.[3] This scope could evolve even further, with algorithms making life-altering decisions on our behalf involving brain-computer interfaces, education, and healthcare interventions.[4] Martin Heidegger challenged the view that humans actually “master” technology, or that humanity has the ability to solve any collateral issues that may arise as technology evolves. Thus, as technology continues to come into existence, it may reveal itself to be beyond our involvement.[5]
