        abstract = {Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer confined to the realms of science fiction or engineering it is now embedded in daily life, influencing cultural norms, economic structures, and ethical debates. While AI enhances human capabilities and creates opportunities for growth, it simultaneously raises existential questions about what it means to be human in a world where machines increasingly mirror intelligence, creativity, and decision-making. This paper explores the cultural and ethical implications of AI in shaping human identity. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining cultural theory, philosophy, sociology, and ethics, it examines how AI redefines creativity, communication, work, and relationships, while highlighting the ethical dilemmas of autonomy, bias, authenticity, and surveillance. Case studies from healthcare, education, and social interaction illustrate AI’s ambivalent impact. The paper concludes that while AI has the potential to enrich human identity, safeguarding dignity, cultural diversity, and ethical responsibility remains essential for navigating this technological era.},
