Criticism of artificial intelligence and cognitive science: a return to the “pure mind”

This paper examines the term cognitive science and the implications of using it to replace science proper. The author examines historical examples of secret knowledge technology and explores the possibilities of using artificial intelligence for this purpose by the ruling elites in their attempts to retain power at any cost. The au-thor is looking for an answer to the question — what evidence do we even have for the existence of artificial intelligence and its incredible potentialities? Studying the reasons for the widespread and rapid spread of the transition to cognitive science and the use of artificial intelligence is important in the context of the increasing overlap of multiple crises, including economic, structural, financial and social crises. The author concludes that new challenges and threats create new systems and institutions, but it is unrealistic to change the nature of all humanity for the sake of the interests of one group. Even if implemented, such a system will be unsus-tainable and will decline because it drastically reduces the diversity of the population, including its cognitive manifestations.
