Transhumanism is a philosophical movement that supports the use of modern technology to enhance human development and overcome limitations. Max More is a leading transhumanist philosopher who has made significant contributions to the field. The objective of this project is to evaluate transhumanism in the philosophy of Max More. Focusing on his extropian principles, the project examines how his vision of transcending biological limits via technologies like cryonics, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence influences contemporary thought. Using the method of philosophical analysis, hermeneutic interpretation & conceptual clarification, the study analyzes More’s foundational ideas, including perpetual progress and morphological freedom, which advocate individual choice in self-transformation. This project investigates the ethical, technological, and social implications of Max More's philosophy, such as issues of access, safety, and societal pressures, alongside criticisms highlighting its over- optimism, libertarian bias, and speculative nature. This project also assesses Max More’s 21 st-century legacy, noting his impact on biotechnology, philosophy, and cultural movements like transhumanism advocacy. While More’s vision inspires innovation and personal empowerment, it faces challenges in ensuring equitable access, addressing safety risks, and embracing cultural diversity. This project underscores the transformative potential of transhumanism while advocating a balanced approach to ensure its benefits reach all of humanity, contributing to ongoing debates about technology’s role in our collective future..

The place of artificial intelligence in cultural pressure and human value has become a source of concern in our contemporary times. Cultural value remains one of the critical aspects of human development. Some scholars have argued that culture in contemporary human society serves as a moral teacher to the people. The purpose of this study is to critically examine the contemporary significance of artificial intelligence on cultural pressure and human value. The place of artificial intelligence in cultural pressure and human value has contemporary significance and very serious ethical implications. The concept of artificial intelligence is predicated on human creativity and it borders on human welfare. A conceptual clarification of artificial intelligence showcases the fact that it is a humanist philosophy. The objective of this research is that artificial intelligence showcases human prosperity. This research work is to take a cursory look at the contemporary influence of artificial intelligence on cultural development and human value. The study covers the ethical implications of artificial intelligence on cultural development and human value. Some human values have been eroded due to the emergence of artificial intelligence.
