On the question on methods of "studies of the future" in the futurology of artificial intelligence

Abstract

The philosophical and methodological analysis of some trends in the futurology of artificial intelligence (AI) is carried out. Special attention is paid to the phenomenon of methodological syncretism, attempts to present the upcoming fusion of humans with artificial intelligence as part of a universal evolution ("from the Big Bang to the Internet" and beyond), as well as quasi-religious components in the futurology of artificial intelligence.
