Abstract:
Cyberpsychology includes a number of problem areas referring to human beings’ connections in the era of digital technologies. A lively discussed theme dealing with the perspectives of the artificial intelligence (AI) is an actual topic. Scholars, practitioners as well as ordinary people keep widely discussing a likely AI progress towards overrunning of human intelligence. In result humans will supposedly lose control of the most valuable decisions made by various AI subsystems – decisions dealing with our personal and social being, business perspectives, adoption of technologies, ecology, selection of specialties in-demand to learn, etc.
While this sort of discussions is not quite new (historical precedents are known such as anti-machinery Luddites movements or disputes pro & contra newborn cybernetics), during the last several decades certain consequences of the AI usage refer mainly on the idea of singularity (often called technological singularity). By singularity Vernor Vinge, Ray Kurzweil and their followers mean that digital technologies are about to build the so called superintelligence – the one that surpasses human intelligence and becomes capable of making complex decisions that would never (or rarely) occur to a person due to all the unexpectedness and/or huge time-consuming which lie behind such a decision. Enthusiasts estimate the appearance of artificial superintelligence (ASI), i.e. supercomputer systems connected via supernetworks, around 2045. Several ASI projects such as AlphaZero or ChatGPT, and many others, have declared themselves in the last few years as highly competent and useful, even for ordinary public. While being competent and useful, many projects meet nevertheless protests from prominent specialists, politicians, educators, and general public.
