Abstract
The increasing integration of artificially intelligent systems into our everyday life and even into our physical existence not only brings with it enormous social challenges, but also forces us to fundamentally question and further develop human self-image. Even if some technological scenario - such as the transfer of our consciousness to a computer - is more like a science fiction thought experiment than a realistic forecast for the future, such utopias or dystopias can sharpen anthropological questions that will accompany us more and more in the coming decades. It is not just society that has to agree on which use of technologies should be encouraged, allowed, restricted or sanctioned.
