This scientific article is devoted to the philosophical study of existential risks associated with the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital consciousness. In an era of rapid technological progress, when AI penetrates deeper and deeper into various spheres of human activity, there is a need to understand the potential threats that it may pose to the existence of mankind.The article examines such aspects of the problem as the possibility of creating a superintelligence capable of surpassing human control, the unforeseen consequences of the development of AI, as well as the possibility of a conflict of values between man and machine. Special attention is paid to the philosophical analysis of the problem of superintelligence control and the ethical aspects of AI development and implementation.The relevance of the research is due to the need to develop strategies to minimize existential risks and ensure responsible development of AI technologies. The aim of the work is to philosophically comprehend the problem of existential risks associated with AI and identify ways to solve it.
