Artificial intelligence as it is in the current conditions of digital transformation of global society

The article is devoted to the study of the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the modern digital transformation of the rich countries of the global North and the poor countries of the global South. Particular attention is paid to the different conditions of the digital revolution in the former and the latter. They are leading to an increase in old inequalities and the emergence of new digital inequalities between developed and developing countries. At the same time, the pursuit of profit in the digital economy has become the main reason for further material and property differentiation between the first, second, and third world countries, as well as between the rich and the poor within each of these countries. All of this hinders the revolutionary potential of AI in the interests of all countries and peoples and creates conditions for its use for anti-people purposes, including by combining AI with weapons for the military purpose of killing people. The task of civil society is precisely to force state authorities to take measures to regulate digital business in order to overcome the threats posed by the oligarchs of digital corporations and improve the socio-economic situation of both the cybertariat and the entire working population in the countries of the global North and the global South.
