The development of modern technologies, in particular the growing expansion of artificial intelligence (AI), requires a reconsideration of the philosophical foundations of human thinking. The ability of AI programs and systems to perform processes related to consciousness such as “understanding”, “understanding”, “decision-making” through complex algorithmic foundations, philosophically questions the possibility of being considered a truly “conscious being”. In particular, D. Chalmers’ “hard problem” – the explanation of consciousness as a subjective experience – is at the center of analysis. At the same time, reductionist approaches that try to explain consciousness only on the basis of physical-material processes are criticized, and the need to appreciate consciousness as a complex, multifaceted phenomenon is justified.
