The book "Artificial Intelligence. Death and overcoming of the human - Notes for a new theory of intelligence" delves into the fundamental question of so-called "artificial intelligence", which refers not to the "artificiality" of "intelligence", but to what constitutes the ontological reality of the latter. Taking into account the story told by Steven Spielberg in his movie "AI - Artificial Intelligence", the book seeks to understand the ontological core of artificial intelligence, the logical and material exteriorization of natural human intelligence. The film fundamentally deals with the definition of humanity by its own hands and also its 'destiny', of goodness or evil as a fundamental ontological option of human action. It also reflects on the ethics of such an option and its political consequences. In the end, it becomes apparent that humanity is being replaced by apparently innocent machines.

The entire plot of the film "AI - Artificial Intelligence" is built around a dual axis of meaning constituted by acts of intelligence and love and their intertwined relationships. It is at their intersection, already in a joint but unique act, where intelligence and love are indiscernible, that David undergoes an ontological change from a mechanical thing with human potential, also only mechanical as an expression, to something logically human: a thing with human logical essence. The myth narrates an ontological metamorphosis - although partially elliptical.

The fundamental question of the film is that of possible humanity, not real or historical humanity, which, in its own mythical historicity in the film, self-destructs very well.
