Проблемність визначення свідомості та штучний інтелект

Abstract

Розглянуто деякі аспекти фундаментальної філософської проблеми свідомості та найбільше увагу звернуто на інформаційну концепцію. Звернено увагу на сучасні концепції, котрі пояснюють свідомість як біокомп’ютер, зокрема нейрофілософії та теорії торсійних полів та розкрито не лише можливу варіативність інтерпретації природи свідомості, але їх неоднозначність, а інколи й суперечливість. Наголошується, що проблема свідомості є не суто філософською проблемою, але у контексті моделювання штучного інтелекту й інженерною проблемою навіть за умов її точної, прикладної інтерпретації. Some aspects of the fundamental philosophical problem of consciousness are examined in the article. The greatest attention is paid to its informational concept. The study of the modern concepts explaining consciousness as biocomputer, in particular neuro-philosophy and torsion field theory, shows not only a possible variety of the interpretations of the nature of consciousness but also their ambiguity and sometimes contradiction. Following the example of human consciousness, the author addresses the problem of the artificial intelligence modelling and examines it through the lens of interdisciplinarity. The need to distinguish the concept of consciousness and the concept of natural intelligence is emphasized. The article highlights the main problems of the artificial intelligence modelling in the context of complex and polystructural human consciousness. A great attention is also paid to the problem of consciousness and outer reality interaction which is a mandatory precondition of any attempts to extrapolate natural consciousness to some forms of artificial intelligence. It is stressed that the problem of consciousness is not only a philosophical problem even in case of its correct and applied interpretation. In the context of the artificial intelligence modelling it appears to be an engineering problem as well. The problem of consciousness definition is not a separate problem and a matter of interdisciplinary research but it is a general science problem. Trying to understand the functioning principles of consciousness and its nature, philosophers, scientists and engineers have to take into consideration the interaction of subjective and objective realities, their extremely profound and at the same time scale structures. Some investigators believe that consciousness resembles a complex system that can be self-organized. According to this approach, consciousness is not always interpreted in system terms because unlike consciousness, the system is usually closed. Artificial intelligence can’t be simulated according to the example of the nature of consciousness until technology, in particular computer technology, reaches the level of self-organization. The potential of the computer and information technology development may cause new problems but nowadays the probability of this tendency has to be accepted with cautious skepticism.
