| Summary: | This article investigates the ontological and ethical disjunctions introduced by robotic and AI-driven agents in the context of posthumanism. Drawing on philosophical, literary, and speculative texts, it argues that contemporary robotics and machine learning systems inaugurate not only a technological rupture but a metaphysical crisis concerning personhood, simulation, and value. Grounded mainly in the theories of Jean Baudrillard, Kathrine Hayles, Nick Bostrom, Rosi Braidotti and Donna Haraway, the article examines how artificial minds challenge inherited anthropocentric narratives and disrupt classical conceptions of autonomy and responsibility. Through this inquiry, the article proposes a novel framework of "synthetic sovereignty", positing that agency in posthuman futures will depend not on consciousness per se, but on a capacity to modify, interrupt, and rewrite the rules of encoded worlds.
