Details about the Lecture

"The lecture is dedicated to the fundamental issue of technology as an inverse consciousness and the exploration of the anthropology of artificial intelligence as one form of supervised transition from analog to digital culture.

Case studies are presented to highlight critical points in the revolutionary politics of virtuality and the dynamics of the duality of the world and image. Theological aspirations of technology behind practical problems it attempts to pose and solve in the form of artificial intelligence are examined. In this context, societal trends are considered, wherein humans will no longer govern, but rather some of the technological avatars, including artificial intelligence with its rise in the context of the Protestant concept of efficiency, and the simultaneous decline of ethical values leading to a loss of measure and meaning.

The suppression of ethics into post-event reflection fuels the fascination with the artificial, attributing anthropomorphic definitions rooted in the anthropology of the mechanical pattern of the world. In this way, progressive cultures seek their ultimate confirmation and victory in the struggle for the end of history in artificial or, more precisely, artificial intelligence."
