This paper philosophically explores the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on free will. As organizations increasingly integrate AI into various aspects of their operations and individuals rely on AI-powered tools and services, the question arises: has AI taken over our free will? This paper examines the concept of free will and its determining factors from philosophical perspectives. It explores how the introduction of AI compromises free will based on these factors. The paper discusses how AI influences decision-making processes, manipulates emotions, and lacks the responsiveness to reasons that humans possess. It also considers the potential consequences of AI on societal inequalities and injustices. The research acknowledges the ongoing debate and does not provide definitive solutions but presents arguments supporting the notion that AI compromises free will. Understanding these implications is crucial for safeguarding autonomy, ethical considerations, democratic principles, and societal well-being.
