Existential Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence in English Literature

Apoorva Singh

Abstract: This research paper explores the portrayal and examination of artificial intelligence (AI) from existential perspectives in English literature. Existentialism is a philosophical movement that questions the nature of human existence, individuality, and the meaning of life. It delves into themes of choice, responsibility, freedom, and authenticity, which can be seen resonating in literary works involving AI. By analysing selected examples from English literature, this paper aims to shed light on how AI, as a representation of humanity's creation, challenges and reflects existential concerns.
