Abstract

This study explores the impact of generative artificial intelligence on knowledge production through a new framework called "Genognosis." It examines the philosophical and historical dimensions of knowledge while addressing challenges such as forced knowledge standardization, algorithmic and linguistic bias. The study aims to analyze the transformations in human knowledge structures and introduce a model explaining the dynamic interaction between humans and AI in generating knowledge. The discussion highlights the necessity of establishing standards to ensure knowledge equity and balance between human and AI-driven knowledge production. The study recommends strengthening human oversight, diversifying data sources, promoting cultural and linguistic diversity in AI systems, and implementing ethical guidelines to regulate digital knowledge creation.
