Abstract: This article examines the intricate interplay between ethics, consciousness, and human purpose within the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI). It contends that these three dimensions are crucial for ensuring AI development aligns with human values and aspirations. The article highlights key ethical concerns, including bias, accountability, and privacy, emphasizing the need for robust frameworks to balance technological innovation with social responsibility. In addressing AI consciousness, the discussion examines questions about human identity and the possibility of machines replicating or surpassing human awareness. It raises profound implications for society, urging a reevaluation of human purpose in the face of increasing automation. The paper emphasizes the importance of preserving creativity, empathy, and agency in a technology-driven future. Through an analysis of ethics in technology, the article probes into challenges posed by AI, such as bias, accountability, and privacy concerns. It reviews ethical frameworks like deontology, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics to provide solutions. Case studies of ethical dilemmas, such as those involving autonomous vehicles (AV) and surveillance systems, further illustrate these challenges. The exploration of AI consciousness differentiates between human consciousness and the potential for artificial consciousness. It examines philosophical debates, including functionalism, the Chinese Room argument, and the hard problem of consciousness, while considering the societal implications of AI that mimics human awareness. The research also addresses the potential effects of AI consciousness on labor markets, power structures, and human identity. Finally, the article reflects on the evolving concept of human purpose in the AI era, analyzing the impact of technology on work, relationships, and ethics. It underscores the risks of diminished human fulfillment and advocates for developing a symbiotic relationship between humans and AI. Concluding with a vision of a future where ethical AI development is guided by human purpose, the article calls for interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure a mutually beneficial coexistence between humanity and AI.

Abstract: The topological index can be used to depict the structural properties of graphs, and the Hamiltonian problem of graphs has always been a classical problem in graph theory. In this work, we use some known conditions to give some sufficient conditions for Hamilton graphs by the Wiener index, Hyper-Wiener index and Harary index of a graph.

Abstract: The Wiener polarity index of a graph G, is the number of unordered pairs of vertices that are at distance 3 in G. This index can reflect the specific distance relation between vertices in the graph, and provides a new way for the study of graph structure. In this paper, the graph entropy based on Wiener polarity index defined. Based on the above definition of graph entropy, it compares the graph entropy of path and balanced double star graphs based on Wiener polarity index. The expressions of graph entropy based on Wiener polarity index for trees with diameter d ≥ 3 are studied under four graph operations: tensor product, strong product, Cartesian product and composite graph.
