Classification of Epistemological Threats Posed by Artificial Intelligence

The article explores the systematization and classification of epistemological threats emerging from the integration of artificial intelligence into scientific activity. Drawing on empirical and theoretical evidence, key risk categories are identified: the loss of reliability in scientific knowledge, cognitive distortions, the erosion of epistemic pluralism, and the degradation of trust and ethical foundations in the scientific community. This study substantiates the need for a comprehensive approach to the assessment and mitigation of these identified threats to preserve the resilience of contemporary science.

Abstract

The article explores the systematization and classification of epistemological threats emerging from the integration of artificial intelligence into scientific activity. Drawing on empirical and theoretical evidence, key risk categories are identified: the loss of reliability in scientific knowledge, cognitive distortions, the erosion of epistemic pluralism, and the degradation of trust and ethical foundations in the scientific community. This study substantiates the need for a comprehensive approach to the assessment and mitigation of these identified threats to preserve the resilience of contemporary science.
