The AI era can be said to be the age of de-border between man and machine. In particular, the abilities (sensitivity, reason, autonomy etc.) considered unique to humans can be implemented in non-human machines, so that machines no longer stay in a tool box as an mere object passively operated by humans. They can be (at a certain level) an autonomous agent, a subject who can think and act like human beings. This humanization tendency of machines throws new topics that we have not noticed in the past. In this paper, I will consider these topics in the following order. First of all, I will describe the cognitive power and behavioral abilities of artificial intelligence (robot) that emerges in the present or near future, and examine the technical foundations to enable these capabilities. Next, I will discuss the identity of artificial intelligence (robot), especially the ontological nature. I will focus on the possibility of being a non-human person in the sense of J. Locke, and the issues of autonomy, morality and responsibility emerging in artificial intelligence (robot), and how to give personhood elements as attributes to the artificial intelligence (robot). I will also discuss ways to build personhood in terms of social relationships. Finally, I would like to ask again about the human and humanities in the AI era. I will examine the changes in the relationship between human and machine, a new understanding of human identity, a change to a de-humanistic humanism, and the future tasks that humanities must deal with in this context. These are all important topics in humanities that require new reflection in the age of AI.
