THE IMPACT OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL SINGULARITY ON THE HYPER DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRY 6.0: A COUNTERINTUITIVE PROCESS OF DOUBLE TRANSFORMATION
Abstract
The hyper development of Industry 6.0 is enhanced by digitalization, innovation, and socialization of economic relations. The purpose of the article is to substantiate and reveal the counterintuitive course of the dual transformation of the economy and society for human development and the accelerated formation of Industry 6.0. The authors note that this industry involves the widespread merger of man, machine, and virtual twins and the passage of 5 evolutionary stages of human transformation in the course of scientific and technological progress to the formation of the Industry of the Future, namely: biological, transhuman, posthuman, metahuman singular future, and metaintelligence. Four stages of artificial intelligence development are presented: early, general, superintelligence and strong intelligence. At the stage of strong artificial intelligence, humanity will deal with digital human clones, digital human doubles and digital copies of human consciousness. An attempt is made to scientifically explain the fact that in the 20s of the 21st century, humanity is undergoing a stage of biodigital social reprogramming at an accelerated pace, which changes the “chemistry” of the human brain, affects the functioning of neural networks of the brain, “flashes” and “reprograms” human thoughts into the desired format, following the example of production and industrial devices. The authors express the opinion that, given the existing technological singularity, humanity and each individual may lose themselves as a “physical person”, “thinking person”, “thinking person”, without even realizing this fact. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that the authors note that the technological singularity has a powerful impact on the accelerated formation of Industry 6.0 and the Metaverse due to the development of high, “supersensory technologies”, “disruptive innovations” and the emergence of super-intelligent robot agents, robot assistants. The practical significance of the results obtained is that the analysis of the evolutionary chain of transformation of the “physical classical man” to the “digital post-man with artificial intelligence” makes it possible to realize that neurotechnology, anticipatory artificial intelligence and intelligent systems are the technological driving forces of Industry 6.0. As a result, scientists note that the technological singularity is the expected moment in the future when a strong super artificial intelligence will make the fact of surpassing machine intelligence over human intelligence, technological development will be characterized by exponentiality, double transformation and changes will be ultra-fast vertical, not linear.
