Abstract

This abstract summarizes a paper that analyzes the philosophical transition triggered by artificial intelligence advancements—specifically, the shift from anthropocentrism to AI-centric philosophy—and its relationship with nihilism. The abstract defines the concept of AI-centric philosophy as a framework that recognizes AI's ontological and ethical significance without diminishing human value. Drawing parallels between Nietzsche's "death of God" and what could be considered the "death of human centrality," the paper examines how AI development both intensifies nihilistic concerns while potentially offering pathways to overcome them. Through analysis of empirical data and case studies (DeepSeek and GPT-4.5), the paper proposes that viewing AI as a partner rather than merely a tool or threat may help humanity transcend nihilistic despair in the age of artificial intelligence. This philosophical recalibration fundamentally transforms our understanding of intelligence, agency, and meaning-making in a post-anthropocentric world.
