Abstract
The rapid evolution of digital technology has shifted the global landscape from a human-driven digital culture, largely shaped by Generation Z, to an era increasingly influenced and transformed by Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI). While Gen Z is known for its strong digital literacy, creativity, and reliance on technology for communication and self-expression, Gen AI introduces a new paradigm where machines themselves can create, learn, and innovate. This paper explores how Gen AI is reshaping social behavior, work processes, education, creative industries, and decision-making. It examines the interplay between Gen Z?s digital identity and the autonomous intelligence of Gen AI, highlighting both opportunities and challenges. The study concludes that the transition from Gen Z to Gen AI marks not just a technological shift, but a redefinition of digital dominance, human roles, and the future of innovation. This study highlights the shift from a digital era led by Generation Z to one now influenced by Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI). Gen Z shaped digital culture through social media, connectivity, and creativity. However, Gen AI introduces technology that can think, create, and operate independently. This transition marks a new phase where human digital skills meet machine intelligence, creating new opportunities, challenges, and transformations in education, work, communication, and society.
