At a time when individual decisions are increasingly influenced – even shaped – by algorithmic recommendations and predictive models, the question arises as to what extent humans can retain their autonomy. Shaped by a digital environment that is formed by a network of algorithms, individuals are gradually ceasing to be active creators of their own decisions. Instead, they are increasingly exposed to the influence of opinions and recommendations conveyed to them by impersonal systems. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that technologies influencing decision-making and autonomy are designed with the intention of shaping user behavior. This situation may result in a weakening of moral responsibility and a reduction in freedom. Nevertheless, we argue that autonomy can be preserved, provided that individuals retain the ability to critically reflect on the outputs of artificial intelligence (as well as other technologies) and accept them only if they are consistent with rationally justified moral judgments. In the digital age, it is therefore particularly important to develop the capacity for critical reflection and rational judgment, which Kant considered the basis of moral autonomy. Without them, freedom risks losing its essential content.en© vydavateľinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessautonómiaautonomydigitálna dobadigital agekritické reflexiecritical reflectionsmorálna zodpovednosťmoral responsibilityslobodafreedomlibertyumelá inteligenciaartificial intelligenceetikaethicsArticle
