Anthropological risks of artificial intelligence and GPT neural networks
The rapid increase in the role of science, technology, and engineering in the modern world, including the development of artificial intelligence and GPT neural networks, has contributed to the actualization of research into both these areas and the new opportunities and risks they generate. The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of modern technologies, specifically artificial intelligence and fourth- and fifth-generation GPT neural networks, on human physical and mental health, spiritual qualities, and their implications for new global risks, primarily anthropological ones. The article emphasizes that a powerful techno-anthropological shift is being observed worldwide, the consequences of which are impossible to predict. The digital revolution has given rise to a new goal – the “upgrade” of humanity. It is no coincidence that anthropological risks have become a problem-oriented research area. The scientific novelty of this research lies in its disclosure of the main objective and subjective factors that influence the transformation of the human personality and its conversion into a “post-human.” The study found that the development of artificial intelligence systems and related GPT neural networks creates the prerequisites for the targeted formation of personality by network platforms, which poses the threat of unpredictable consequences. It concludes that there is a need to develop social mechanisms and applied pathways aimed at overcoming the anthropological crisis.
