Abstract Currently, technology is deeply rooted and has impacted almost all aspects of human life, including communication, medicine, entertainment, and our society is increasingly structured towards transhumanism. Transhumanism is a philosophical movement that advocates the application of technology to enhance the intellectual capabilities of human beings. It includes advancements in genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, and many others to assist human beings. Technological assistance for human beings raises moral concerns such as identity colonization, the destruction of cultural values, and the fear of replacing human identities with technology. The Using the philosophical method of analysis, this study maintains that transhumanism is beneficial as it offers potential proficiencies that enhance the cognitive skills of human beings, extend the life span of plants and animals, and close the gaps of physical limitations in different fields. This paper concludes that, among other things, the values and principles of interdisciplinary aim to derive the best from the use of technology. Identity colonization could be addressed through inter-disciplinary dialogue for responsible innovation and to establish a harmonious relationship between humans and the use of technology for the common good of humanity.
