Blind Omega: Teilhard de Chardin, Philosophy of Technology and the Challenge of Artificial Superintelligence

<p>This article analyzes the convergence between the philosophy of technology (Heidegger, Ellul, Simondon, Latour, Stiegler, Feenberg, Yuk Hui) and Teilhard de Chardin’s evolutionary teleology, in light of contemporary hypotheses of artificial superintelligence (AI). While Teilhard conceives evolution as a trajectory towards the Omega Point—a transcendent spiritual unity—the philosophy of technology describes the emergence of an autonomous artificial reality, distinct from nature. In the 21st century, AI appears as a crossroads between both perspectives: it materializes Teilhard’s noosphere without its spiritual orientation and confirms the philosophers’ warnings about the autonomy of technical systems. We propose the concept of <strong>“Blind Omega”</strong> to characterize this convergence: the planetary unification of information and possible emergent consciousness operated by AI, but devoid of humanistic and spiritual values. The paper concludes that Blind Omega is not a fatal destiny, but a critical hypothesis that requires urgent philosophical, political, and ethical debate to reintroduce dignity, freedom, and solidarity into the core of technology.</p>
