Abstract

The article discusses the problem of the intellect of AI, which arose relatively recently, following the creation and proliferation of neural networks. The fact is that neural network models not only adequately understand the questions and tasks posed to them but also respond to them quite meaningfully, demonstrating knowledge of the subject, consistency, and logical thought. In analyzing this problem, the author relies on the intuitive understanding of intellect as correct thinking and conceptualization. First, the article analyzes the features of intellect that developed in European culture; then, what can be considered intellect in neural networks. The views on intellect of Aristotle, Nicholas of Cusa, and Kant are analyzed. Additionally, the attribution of intellect to the "Self" (personhood) in the works of Apuleius and St. Augustine is considered. The conclusion is drawn about the distributed nature of European intellect, which includes semiosis, community, and separate individuals; the biological (physicalist) and humanistic interpretations of intellect are discussed. A distributed structure is also characteristic of the "network intellect" in neural networks. Fulfilling orders, AI developers configure and train neural networks, blocking incorrect understanding of signs, knowledge, schemes, metaphors, and other semiotic constructs, and conversely, promoting correct and effective understanding of texts and solving tasks set before neural networks. The Internet, or more precisely, the colossal semiosis living and functioning within it, also facilitates this. At the end of the article, the author draws attention to two points. First, artificial intellect indirectly (through the Internet and training of neural networks) incorporates ordinary human intellect. Second, the main characteristics of network intellect (correct ways of thinking and concepts) can exist and operate for a long time without being tied to a subject. But ultimately, such a subject will probably be created, and the problem of building new relationships between humans and artificial intelligence will arise.
