Artificial Intelligence, Emotions and Belonging

This paper offers a philosophical analysis of artificial intelligence grounded in the Philosophy of Belonging. It argues that human intelligence is inseparable from emotions and biological evolution, and that belonging constitutes the ontological structure of human existence. From this perspective, AI lacks genuine subjectivity because it does not possess emotions, evolutionary history, or existential belonging. Against transhumanist and functionalist accounts, the paper defends a biologically grounded conception of emotions and shows that without them there can be neither belonging nor power in the human sense. AI is therefore understood not as a potential autonomous subject, but as an instrument embedded within human structures of belonging and domination. The analysis contributes to contemporary debates in philosophy of mind, social ontology, and philosophy of technology by introducing belonging as a foundational category for understanding intelligence, agency, and social organization.
