Artificial Intelligence and Human Intelligence in the Globalization Perspective

Abstract

Aim. To identify the nature of the process of active implementation of “artificial intelligence” in modern society, its goals and significance. To explain why the idea of creating “artificial intelligence” in the image and likeness of human intelligence is utopian, and why it is destructive both for an individual and for society like any social utopia, since it corresponds to the inhumane goals of total convergence of man and machine.

Methodology. The principles which the supporters of neoliberal globalism, transhumanism and their critics, representatives of modern conservative thought, have are compared.

Results. It has been substantiated by the author that the answers to the eternal philosophical questions such as “how to remain human and preserve the state and its institutions”, “what underlies human thinking and distinguishes it from human-machine systems” lie in the field of religious and philosophical anthropology, which assert the ontologism of human intelligence, the existence of two levels of cognition: rational and reasonable. AI is a tool that can compile from what the “conductors” put into it. It has been found that the main task is not superiority over natural human intelligence, but its destruction and thereby the destruction of man. From a conservative position, the policy of the “new Westerners” on universal digitalization is seen as a threat to national security and a “second front” in the struggle for sovereignty.

Research implications are determined by the need for sovereignty and mobilization of the spheres of social sciences and education to understand the profound turning point taking place in the world and to choose the right decisions based on the principles of the Russian philosophical tradition.
