On the Typology of Activity Rationality in the Digital Age

The birth of new technological structures and digital revolutions has always radi­cally changed the socio-techno-anthroposphere, but only the era of digitalization creates a global network world in which a person gradually cedes almost all his competencies to Artificial Intelligence. Information flows are really mastered only in hybrid systems, for which the dialogue between a machine and a person generates a post-critical rationality that is completely opaque to us. At the same time, the processes of understanding and searching for the expanded possibilities of human consciousness require a revision of the concepts of activity rationality, which, as shown in the article, has many more dimensions than previously as­sumed. In addition to the types of scientific rationality discovered by V.S. Stepin, we have substantiated at least three more: autopoetic, creative and post-critical rationality, which describe strategies for creativity, self-understanding and work­ing with partially understood actors of hybrid society, carriers of artificial intelli­gence. In addition, the complex hierarchical structure of activities in humanita­rian research and management is considered, which is much more complex than the structure of activities in physical experiments, which explains the ambiguity and conventionality of interpretations in humanities. The problem of demarca­tion of the areas of responsibility of natural and artificial intelligence, and crite­ria for their distinction is discussed. The conclusion is made about the imma­nence of heuristic abilities for natural, but not artificial intelligence. The proposed typology of activity rationalities makes it possible to understand the diffe­rence and complementarity of scientific and non-scientific forms of cognition of the world and man, which can, in particular, help to establish a more meaning­ful way of communication between man and AI.
