DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND PROSPECTS (EMANCIPATION FROM) JOB

This article is dedicated to the prospects of job in the context of the development of contemporary technologies, automation, and the development of artificial intelligence (AI). The future of humanity, human employment and leisure, and opportunities for self-realization, particularly in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals, are problematized. It is noted that the view from the positions of power structures, management, administration, economic advantages, and even the exploitation of labor prevails in the literature. However, the position of the worker / person as a nomadic singularity should be decisive, revealing human existence beyond the logic of production and social control, when automation and the development of AI create emancipatory prospects. The article defines the socio-economic context of the problem, which is associated with potential risks to the future employment of humanity, when there will be no need for certain labor and work force. However, it is noted that the emphasis on employment or job placement concerns not so much the concern for a person as their control, and the fixation on concerns about unemployment is based on a combination of ethical prejudice regarding job as a characteristic of a mature person with fear of masses of people who have unlimited free time. At the same time, today it is said that the development of the latest technologies / AI can lead precisely to the dismissal of people who have mastered professions that are not the embodiment of the free self-realization of human existence. Consideration of the prospects of job / unemployment in view of the automation process allows us to hope that technology deprives a person of what is not inherent in them and encourages the development of new human qualities. However, technological development does not guarantee general liberation, but leads to retraining, lifelong learning, although it also provides tools for various creative practices, the realization of a person's singular desire in their competition with AI. The use of automation, robotics, and AI, in our opinion, should rid people of unproductive, automatic work, create new practices for self-realization, reorient them to predominantly communicative, empathic activity, and free up time for play activities related to leisure and pleasure
