Preserving Global Peace and Navigating Ethical Crises in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: A Contemporary Study of Ada Jafri’s Poetic Vision

Abstract

In the contemporary era, the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undoubtedly provided immense convenience to human life. However, it has simultaneously posed unprecedented challenges to global peace, the preservation of human existence, and core ethical values. The current dominance of machines and algorithms risks reducing human emotions to cold detachment and alienation. This research primarily aims to explore solutions to this modern technological crisis through the lens of the renowned poetess Ada Jafri's poetic vision. This paper demonstrates that while Artificial Intelligence is confined to purely rational, computational, and technical processing utterly lacking emotional depth—Ada Jafri’s poetry strongly advocates for human intelligence and profound ethical consciousness. Jafri’s poetic universe establishes a balanced connection between the individual and society. This connection relies not on material progress, but on universal principles such as respect, tolerance, forbearance, and justice. Her stylistic canvas addresses humanity on a global scale, offering a narrative of human empathy as an antidote to mechanized indifference. Ultimately, this study proves that Ada Jafri’s moral and intellectual vision serves as a vital safeguard to prevent humanity from turning into mere 'robots' in this digital age. By synthesizing literature with contemporary technical and existential threats, this paper offers a unique and highly relevant modern critique.
