ИСКУССТВЕННЫЙ ИНТЕЛЛЕКТ И ЭТИЧЕСКАЯ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТЬ: НОВЫЙ ЭТАП ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОГО СОЗНАНИЯ

Аннотация

This scientific study examines the issues of ethical responsibility, the transformation of human consciousness, and the social consequences of technological decision-making arising from the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Emerging at the intersection of modern science and technology, AI significantly affects human cognition, decision-making processes, and moral evaluation criteria. The research focuses on ensuring the alignment of AI activities with human values, legal norms, and principles of social justice. The main objective of the study is to define the concept, subjects, and boundaries of ethical responsibility within AI systems and to develop theoretical and practical foundations for distributing responsibility between humans and technology. Analytical, conceptual, and comparative methods are used, with a systematic analysis of international experience, ethical codes, AI policies, and philosophical theories of morality. The findings indicate that as AI systems gain greater autonomy in decision-making, the redistribution of human responsibility becomes inevitable. Ethical responsibility should be viewed as a multi-level structure encompassing developers, users, and regulators. The study proposes the establishment of an ethical governance framework based on the principles of fairness, transparency, reliability, and accountability. The scientific novelty of this research lies in the evaluation of AI’s capacity for ethical behavior and the development of a multi-level responsibility model at a new stage of human consciousness. The practical significance lies in providing an ethical foundation for political, legal, and social decision-making related to AI implementation and in fostering sustainable and safe human–machine interaction.
