The Age of Fragile Intelligence - Human Survival, Power, and AI Limits

This essay offers a philosophical reflection on artificial intelligence as a new form of power, and as a mirror that reflects human fragility. By examining how AI challenges human understandings of error, limits, identity, and the origins of morality; the essay suggests a constitutional approach to AI governance, rather than relying only on existing models of behavioral alignment or legal compliance, as a complementary path toward long-term stability and sustainability. Through a series of reflections on fragility, perfection, memory, and reflective loops, the essay argues that rethinking the limits and power of AI has become a pressing philosophical task, in a context where humans are increasingly dependent on, and deeply shaped by, artificial intelligence systems whose capabilities exceed earlier frameworks of prediction.
