HUMAN VS. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: THE ISSUE OF PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY IN THE DIGITAL AGE

The area of modern philosophical issues includes the sphere of digital technologies and the phenomenon of artificial intelligence (AI), in particular. And while there are loud debates about the social and political status of AI if it outgrows itself and becomes on a par with human intelligence - what rights and freedoms we will have to give it, etc. - about the principles of its functioning and development, it is worth, with no less attention, studying the transformations occurring with the person himself against the backdrop of AI, which is widely spreading and being introduced into all spheres of human life. Is AI beginning to displace humans from their active positions today: professional, creative, every day, and looking to the future? How does the use of AI affect a person, his skills, activities, work, and self-realization - from writing an advertising slogan with neural networks to high-precision calculations in the field of astronautics or genetic engineering? This article is an attempt to philosophically comprehend these questions and ask new ones about the place and role of AI in the professional activities of modern and future people.
