This thesis explores the application of Rosi Braidotti's posthumanist framework to the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (AI), challenging traditional anthropocentric approaches. It argues that Braidotti's critical posthumanism provides a powerful lens for developing more inclusive and effective ethical guidelines for AI by embracing concepts such as anti-anthropocentrism, embodied intelligence, and perspectivism. Drawing on Braidotti's notion of "zoe-centered justice" and "affirmative ethics," the research examines case studies in environmental management and reproductive technologies to demonstrate how posthumanist thinking can lead to more comprehensive and equitable solutions. The thesis posits that Braidotti's emphasis on critical examination of long-held assumptions and her willingness to embrace complexity make posthumanism a valuable tool for addressing ethical challenges in AI. By incorporating Braidotti's posthumanist perspectives, particularly her concept of the "posthuman convergence" of zoe/geo/techno dimensions, the study aims to contribute to the development of more robust, inclusive, and sustainable ethical frameworks that reflect the interconnected nature of our world and promote the well-being of both human and non-human entities
