Abstract

The digitalization of our everyday life, based on the application of the basic elements of artificial intelligence, has reached the level that science fiction writers boldly declared 20 or 30 years ago as an unattainable prospect for the future. However, already now integrated in mobile phones, laptops, on-board computers of personal cars, electronic concierges have become an integral part of people’s lives. Very few may doubt that the mankind is on the verge of total integration of artificial intelligence into our household chores, work, and life at large, and the perception of the future integration has actually divided the world into two antagonistic camps: the advocates of anti-utopia with the projected world civilization cataclysm and humanist optimists hoping that artificial intelligence will remain subordinate to the human brain and will. The research aimed at identifying the current trends in communicative practices and attitudes of human users towards applied intellectual systems.
