Abstract
In the chapter
alarmist ideas that exponential development of technologies is an exceptional
source of the crisis of modern civilization are considered and reasonably questioned.
The role of tools in the establishment of human and technologies is underlined,
including information and computative processes in the formation of
the modern culture. The role of information processes in nature and culture is
explored, which enables us to make a conclusion that technologies including
artificial intelligence and intelligent robotics are a compile and an integral part
of a human being. The role of algorithms as a deep basis of crisis events due to
the new opportunities of a dialogue between the machine and the human and
the Transition of information without a cultural context in human-machine system
is justified. Various ways to overcome crisis events whilst human transformation
are offered. Firstly it is the augmentation of human possibilities with
the help of exoprosthetic devices or exocortexes which broaden physical and
cognitive capabilities. Secondly it is the transformation of technologies basing
on deep social and humanitarian research which demand expert answers to vital
questions of using the developing technologies. The use of technologies is analyzed
from the position of postneoclassic rationality and in this framework an
attempt is taken to use postturing methodology which was used before on the
example of intellectual robitics. There is also shown an opportunity to broaden
the sphere of using this postturing methodology in the other kinds of technology,
because gradually the ingress of artificial intelligence into all the tools of
human activity will make any tool "an intellectual robot". The use of postturing
methodology will enable to break a fundamental barrier which divides a human
and a machine which will make the interaction of human and machine more effective
and less antagonistic. To the further discussion a theological ground of
technogenic civilization as creating an opportunity for life to overcome biological
barriers and watch the change of cosmic scale is brought. Such ground enables
to save the main achievement of the mankind - the culture.
