Abstract

The paper explores two phenomena related to artificial intelligence: deepfakes and the concept of the AI personhood, analysed through the ethical framework of Catholic Social Tea¬ching. The analysis is grounded in three key dimensions of the human person as an ethical subject: rationality, corporeality, and relationality. The paper highlights selected threats to human inte¬grity within these dimensions. The phenomenon of deepfakes is presented as a threat to human rationality due to the increasing difficulty in recognizing manipulated content, declining trust in information, and the ease of generating such material with widely accessible AI tools – factors contributing to a growing crisis of truth. The threat to human corporeality is identified in the form of digital identity theft enabled by AI technologies, leading to a crisis of human dignity and a diminished sense of personal security. As a threat to relationality, the article discusses the use of AI systems as substitutes for interpersonal companionship in line with the idea of the AI person¬hood, which exacerbates the breakdown of social relationships and fosters inner emptiness and a lack of mutuality. The primary aim of the article is not only to describe these emerging threats but also to respond to them by highlining the integrity and dignity of the human person.
