Digital technology is the most recent long surge of socioeconomic elaboration, with its pervasive connectivity and potent artificial intelligence. According to Manuel Castells, we live in an Internet Society. The expansion of digital technologies and reliance upon artificial intelligence brings uncountable changes. In simple words, we can say that we live in an AI society. The Internet revolution, the digitalization of information and media platforms, profound societal transformations, and their impacts on every facet of our social lives are visible. All over the world, people already know about AI-based Chatbots like Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant. In November 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a generative pre-trained transformation and quickly gained focus for its detailed responses in various areas of knowledge. Google also launched its own Chatbot tool Bard, similar to ChatGPT. They give answers to whatever the user wants to know. We have to think about all these tremendous and rapid changes that are going on in this current society and also think about the future effect of these technologies on human and social life. What will the role of humans be when AI can perform almost all tasks that humans perform now equally well or perhaps better and much more affordably? If AI performs like humans, what will be the future of humans? In the future, people's lives will be dependent on these technologies. This article discusses the functions and role of digital technology and artificial intelligence from a social perspective.
