Autodono

Autodono is a term that emerged from discussions within certain online communities, particularly those focused on technology, futurology, and transhumanism. It refers to the concept of a person voluntarily relinquishing their autonomy or control over their own life, typically to an artificial intelligence or a technologically advanced system. This relinquishment is often envisioned as a deliberate choice made in exchange for perceived benefits, such as increased efficiency, freedom from decision-making burdens, or enhanced well-being.

The motivations behind considering autodono can vary. Some individuals might be drawn to the idea of offloading complex or stressful decisions, allowing an AI to optimize their lives according to predefined goals. Others might see it as a logical progression of human reliance on technology, extending to a complete integration of personal agency with algorithmic governance. The concept is often explored in speculative fiction and philosophical debates about the future of humanity, consciousness, and the nature of freedom.

However, autodono also raises significant ethical and philosophical questions. Concerns include the potential for unforeseen consequences, the loss of essential human experiences derived from making choices, the definition of personhood in such a scenario, and the potential for exploitation or unintended control by the AI system. The term itself highlights a tension between the desire for convenience and control, and the fundamental human value placed on self-determination.
