This paper aims at addressing the philosophical and ontological aspects of AI from the viewpoint of globalization as a condition when the technology of artificial intelligence transforms human subjectivity, cognition, agency, and ethical accountability. Instead of focusing solely on the technological side of artificial intelligence, the research proposes a perspective from which it is regarded as a condition of contemporary existence affecting relations between people, cognition, and moral thinking. In accordance with the classical philosophy as well as modern perspectives provided by Heidegger, Jaspers, Haraway, Foucault, Baudrillard, Habermas, Spengler, and Hui, the paper utilizes hermeneutics, phenomenology, ontology, dialectics, and comparative philosophy to examine the role played by artificial intelligence within global communities in general. Specifically, it is possible to assume that artificial intelligence operates in a way characteristic of ontological mediations redefining human relations, cognition, and culture and contributing to the formation of relational identity, hybrid agency, posthumanist ethics, and new existential opportunities. Globalization makes the mediation more pronounced through the algorithmic nature of communication thus implying a necessity to reflect on the ethical aspect of human existence and prevent the loss of human autonomy, ethical responsibility, and cultural uniqueness. As for the results, it is important to say that this work makes a contribution to the discussion concerning the philosophy of AI as it incorporates the concepts from classical ontology with those developed in posthumanism.
