Abstract
This study seeks to highlight some contributions of the philosophy of Gilbert Simondon (1924-1989) to the understanding of specific sectors of artificial intelligence. The research has a focus that is limited to the scope of generative artificial intelligences, which are common in personal assistants, known as Chatbots. In this context, the investigation questions whether Simondon's philosophy can assist in understanding the challenges and dangers presented by generative artificial intelligences. To address this question, a conceptual study is conducted focusing on Simondon's concepts of "technical ensemble" and "concretization process," followed by pointing out the emerging phenomena and dangers of artificial intelligence. The conclusion points to a distancing of the human being in relation to the "technical ensemble."
