Abstract

The text explores the relationship between humans and machines, from Hephaestus's automata to modern Artificial Intelligence (AI). It examines how AI has transformed daily life while also presenting ethical and legal challenges, particularly in crimes such as the creation of illicit content. Concepts like human autonomy, labor alienation, and the lack of AI regulation are discussed, reflecting on their impact on humanity. Finally, it speculates on the risk of losing control over our creations and emphasizes the urgency of establishing a legal framework to address these issues effectively.
