Artificial Intelligence: A Humanitarian Perspective

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the features of human intelligence and the intelligence of complex computer systems, usually referred to as artificial intelligence (AI). As a hypothesis, a statement was formulated about a significant difference between human and artificial intelligence. Human intelligence is a product of a multi-thousand-year history of the development and interaction of three interrelated processes: 1) the formation and development of the human personality; 2) the formation of complex network relationships between members of the social community; 3) collective activity as the basis for the existence and development of communities and individuals. AI is a complex of technological solutions that imitate human cognitive processes. Because of this, with all the options for technical development (acceleration of processes for collecting and processing data and finding solutions, using computer vision, speech recognition and synthesis, etc.). AI will always be associated with human activity. In other words, only people (not machines) are the ultimate source and determinant of values on which any artificial intelligence depends. No mind (human or machine) will ever be truly autonomous: everything we do depends on the social context created by other people who determine the meaning of what we want to achieve. This means that people are responsible for everything that AI does.
