ABSTRACT

The advancement of technology fulfils human desires that go beyond basic needs, serving as a significant aid to humanity. Innovations in technology have alleviated the burden of labour and have gained widespread acceptance. Throughout this evolution, social democracy has emerged as the most favourable outcome of both the Industrial Revolution and the technological revolution of artificial intelligence. The various uses of technology raise important questions about justice, particularly concerning the value, dignity, and rights of human beings. For instance, if Sophia, an artificial intelligence robot, is granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia that is equal to that of a real human, it challenges traditional concepts of work. The efficiency and accuracy of human labour are increasingly tested by artificial machines, leading to disputes over accountability in workplaces that blend human and machine efforts.
