Oleksandr Bilokobylskyi

One of the central problems of human-AI interaction is the opacity of the "intellectual" moves of the machine, the sources of its "inferences". The "reasonableness" of generative AI models is fundamentally different from human understanding, which in each situation has an existential meaning, since understanding is a moment in the construction of "reality" and the life activity of an individual, colored in emotional and socio-practical tones. For AI, human reality is deontologized by translation into the language of mathematical "meanings", which poses a threat to humans and will generate risks for them.

Keywords: ontology, being, social reality, thinking, AI, social practices.
