Abstract: The object of the study is the culture of artificial intelligence (AI); the subject – its understanding in modern culture: mass media, social networks. Attention was drawn to the use of AI in various industries, ethical issues, its functioning, etc. It is noted that public reflection is a component of the AI-culture and at the same time a factor in its formation. AI receives a response in the information space, causes lively discussions, produces assessments and opinions. Particular attention is paid to whether a positive or negative assessment is expressed about AI in public opinion, which aspects of the AI culture are more important for members of modern society. The study was conducted using a set of research tools: methods of analysis, observation, description, value, cultural and historical methods using interdisciplinary and integrated approaches. The method used was to analyze publications from electronic media, social networks, etc.
The scientific novelty of the study is due to the novelty of the AI culture as a subject of study. Criteria for assessing AI in public opinion have not been developed, making the assessment of the reflection of AI culture in public opinion subjective. However, the study relied on the opinions of representatives of various social groups. The majority of users have positive opinion of AI, it is common to consider it as a useful tool that improves the quality of human life, it is not dangerous. Negative statements concern the undesirable impact of AI on people, the possible loss of jobs by people, the use of neural networks by fraudsters, and a possible attack by AI. It is concluded that the study of public reflection on AI helps to better understand the AI-culture.

Abstract: The object of the study is the culture of artificial intelligence (AI); the subject is its value-normative structure, that is, the correspondence of the AI culture to the key values of the modern world. As a result of the analysis of the cultural-philosophical context, such values were identified as the meaning of being, the idea of the ultimate goal of human existence, the connection between man and nature, the interaction of man with space, humanism, spirituality, immortality. The analysis of the AI culture was carried out through the prism of these values in order to identify the specifics of their refraction. In the study, AI is understood as technological systems that have some properties of human intelligence and strive to perform functions that are traditionally considered as the prerogative of man. The study was conducted on the basis of general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, observation, description and special methods as dialectical, cultural, historical. An interdisciplinary approach to the problem was used. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by its subject matter: the value-normative structure of AI culture is a new phenomenon. It is noted that various "eternal" values find their refraction in AI culture in different ways. Humanism and spirituality seem to be unrelated to AI culture, but their significance is strengthened by the spread of AI. The meaning of life, unity with nature as values in the context of AI culture are actualized. Cosmism and immortality are values that AI culture fully complies with. AI allows a person to spread his influence to an ever-expanding surrounding space and promises digital immortality. It is concluded that AI culture has a value-normative structure indicating its consolidation in the modern cultural field, its importance for culture.

Abstract: The object of research is artificial intelligence (AI); the subject of the study is the basis of its development by representatives of the philosophy of culture. It is noted that the philosophical understanding of technology, technology and AI began much earlier than artificial intelligence was created as a technological phenomenon, which indicates the essence of AI as a cultural phenomenon. Since modern times, representatives of the philosophy of culture have tried to comprehend AI, and their theoretical constructions today often look prophetic, which have found their full confirmation in our time. The earliest perspective of understanding the culture of AI was the internalization one (evaluation of human experience in relation to technology), which was then supplemented by the phatic (understanding of the possibility of communication with AI) and critical (criticism of interaction with technology and AI).
The research was carried out using general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, observation, description, etc. Special methods were used: systemic-structural, dialectical, cultural-historical. The main approach to the problem has become interdisciplinary.
The scientific novelty lies in identifying different angles of understanding the culture of AI in the history of cultural and philosophical thought. It is noted that the internalization perspective is most clearly manifested in the works of Hobbes, Leibniz, Descartes, Spinoza, Hume and other scientists seeking to understand the similarities between human and machine thinking, the possibility of repeating natural intelligence in artificial intelligence. A phatic perspective on understanding the culture of AI is characteristic of the works of Rickert, Toffler, Derrida, Barthes, Foucault and other philosophers who focused attention on the nature of the relationship between man and machine. A critical analysis of AI is manifested in the studies of Berdyaev, Heidegger, Sombart, Bell and other authors who talk about the dangers associated with AI.

Abstract: The object of the study is a special branch of scientific knowledge, formed at the intersection of interests of various humanitarian disciplines – the philosophy of artificial intelligence; the subject of the study is the problems it considers. The author identifies the main traditional questions that the philosophy of artificial intelligence tried to answer earlier. Such questions in the earlier stages of the development of science were concentrated around the possibility of artificial intelligence to become aware of itself, learn to think, feel and create like a person. Scientists since the 1960s interested in the problems of equality of natural and artificial intelligence, the ability of a computer to show benevolence or hostility towards its creators.
The research was carried out using a historical and philosophical analysis of issues in the philosophy of artificial intelligence, the method of interpretive synthesis, etc. Systemic-structural, dialectical, cultural-historical, value-based, interdisciplinary approaches to the problem were used.
The scientific novelty of the research lies in identifying the problems of the philosophy of artificial intelligence that are relevant at this stage of development of this scientific field. It is noted that the dynamics of the philosophy of artificial intelligence are significantly influenced by the fact that “strong” artificial intelligence has not been created for several decades. This has caused a transformation in the research field of the philosophy of artificial intelligence, and at the moment this branch of scientific knowledge is considering new questions, including why it is not possible to create “strong” AI that completely replicates human thinking; can a computer think, albeit differently, than a human; what is the difference between human and machine thinking; who should be responsible for the decisions and actions of artificial intelligence, and etc. The issues facing the philosophy of artificial intelligence are constantly updated.
