Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to designate and describe the direction of the competencies’ formation in artificial intelligence systems, among which two types are distinguished, such as semiolinguistic and communicative ones that are supposed to become leading in the artificial intelligence activity as an equal partner to humans both in activity and communication. Typologies of such competencies are considered, an approximate semiosis of artificial intelligence aimed at cognitive development of reality similar to the human mentality is proposed. The article uses the general scientific method of introspection and retrospection; semiolinguistic analysis to study sign formation and clustering of emerging signs; conceptual analysis to identify the characteristics of the conceptual sphere of artificial intelligence; discursive analysis to determine the signs and methods of artificial intelligence’ immersion into a communication environment.

Examples of artificial intelligence systems demonstrating the ability to master two types of competencies are given - linguistic-semiological (cognitive-typological, conceptual-distinguistic, search-determinative, search-pericular, semio-creative) and communicative/discursive (in such variants as linguistic, socio-linguistic and pragmatic).

In the conclusion to the paper options for ensuring human security during its interaction with artificial intelligence systems are considered, such as: linking the program to only one medium; providing humanoid symbiotic connection of AI with the world; protection of media programs or its elements from self-reprogramming; restriction of protocols and communication channels with the prohibition of independent connection to Internet networks; the impossibility of AI for building networks.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Compare the Isaac Asimov’s laws for robots: “a robot cannot harm humanity or, through its inaction, allow humanity to be harmed; a robot cannot harm a person or, through inaction, allow a person to be harmed; the robot must obey all orders given by a person, except in cases where these orders are contrary to the First Law; the robot must take care of its safety to the extent that it does not contradict the First or Second Laws” [https://robo-hunter.com/news/kulturnii-kod-azimova-kak-tri-zakona-robototehniki-voshli-v-istoriy8887].
