ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HUMAN LIFE: PERSON OR INSTRUMENT
Abstract
The question of expediency and the principal possibility of machine imitation of human intellect from the point of view of evaluating the perspectives of various directions of development of artificial intelligence systems is discussed. It is shown that even beyond this practical aspect, the solution to the question about the principal possibility of creating a machine equivalent of the human mind is of great importance for understanding the nature of human thinking, consciousness and mental in general. It is noted that the accumulated experience of creating various systems of artificial intelligence, as well as the currently available results of studies of human intelligence and human consciousness in philosophy and psychology allow us to give a preliminary assessment of the prospects of creating an algorithmic artificial system, equal in its capabilities to human intelligence.
The analysis of the drawbacks revealed in the use of artificial intelligence systems by mass users and in scientific research is carried out. The key disadvantages of artificial intelligence systems are the inability to independently set goals, the inability to form a consolidated «opinion» when working with divergent data, the inability to objectively evaluate the results obtained and generate revolutionary new ideas and approaches. The disadvantages of the «second level» are the insufficiency of information accumulated by mankind for further training of artificial intelligence systems, the resulting training of models on the content partially synthesized by artificial intelligence systems themselves, which leads to «forgetting» part of the information obtained during training and increasing the cases of issuing unreliable information. This, in turn, makes it necessary to check the reliability of each answer given by the artificial intelligence system whenever critical information is processed, which, against the background of the plausibility of the data given by artificial intelligence systems and a comfortable form of their presentation, requires the user to have well-developed critical thinking.
It is concluded that the main advantage of artificial intelligence systems is that they can significantly increase the efficiency of information retrieval and primary processing, especially when dealing with large data sets. The importance of the ethical component in artificial intelligence and the creation of a regulatory framework that introduces responsibility for the harm that may be caused by the use of artificial intelligence systems is substantiated, especially for multimodal artificial intelligence systems. The conclusion is made that the risks associated with the use of multimodal artificial intelligence systems consistently increase in the case of realization in them of such functions of human consciousness as will, emotions and following moral principles.
