What are the social and economic consequences of the development of machine intelligence and how will our lives change in the coming decades? Answering these questions, the famous Russian expert in the field of artificial intelligence Sergei Shumsky uses a historical approach, tracking the change of technological eras right up to the present day. The emergence of machine intelligence marks the beginning of the transition to a new way of life, a new digital economy. But this revolution, like any other, is fraught with many risks - from the loss of social stability in individual countries and in the international arena to the existential challenges associated with the loss of individual people and humanity as a whole of control over their own destiny. Therefore, it is very important that the artificial intelligence is as close as possible to the human in relation to social instincts and humanistic values, and therefore, the author insists, a reliable practical program is needed for the formation of a humanoid artificial psyche and the development of a new science of machine education.
