The Foundations for Building the National Idea of Russia: Intelligence Augmentation as an Alternative to Artificial General Intelligence

Abstract

The article examines the project of artificial augmentation of human intelligence and rationality as the basis of the national ideology of development of the Rus­sian Federation in the aspect of its reasonable and safe alternative to artificial general intelligence. The socio-philosophical and futurological interpretation of this phenomenon is based on a number of technologies and methods of cre­ation augmented human natural intelligence, individual provisions of observa­tion within the framework of Russian cosmism (V.I. Vernadsky, N.F. Fedorov, V.S. Solovyov), immortalism (I.V. Vishev, L.A. Gavrilov), as well as Russian transhumanism and posthumanism (I.V. Katerny, S.V. Tikhonova, D.A. Davy­dov). A critical understanding of artificial general intelligence is carried out by
analyzing the works of Russian (N.G. Gubanov, L.G. Cheremnykh, Yu.V. Na­zarov, A.Yu. Kashirin) and foreign thinkers (N. Bostrom). A deconstruction of Western transhumanism and a turn towards Russian transhumanism as a na­tional development ideology is proposed, taking into account the cognitive dis­tortions of Western colleagues and relying on the traditional values of our coun­try. Intelligence augmentation project takes into account, first of all, the interests of humans, not machines, the desire for creation, not destruction.
