РОЛЬ ТЕХНОЛОГІЙ У БОРОТЬБІ ЕСХАТОЛОГІЙ

The article examines the transformation of eschatological representations in contemporary religious and secular discourses under the influence of rapid technological development, particularly artificial intelligence. It investigates the confrontation between two paradigms in Silicon Valley – catastrophic eschatology and eschatology of salvation through technology. Cinematic representations of the apocalypse are analyzed, as well as the Vatican’s position in discussions on AI. The conclusion is drawn about the formation of a convergent process in which mythological, religious, philosophical, and technological thinking coexist.
