Safety of Information and Communication Technologies in the Context of the Sustainable Development of Human Society

Abstract

The article deals with the development of human society under the conditions of change of the final technological pattern existing before the 4th industrial revolution. The change is associated with the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) as one of the catalysts of sustainable progress in the development of social and industrial relations in the modern society. It is stated that progress in the field of industrial relations and technologies developing conformity with the exponential law. At the same time, according to the law, the so-called point of technological singularity appears on the time scale of the development when the development path of what is referred to as machine intelligence becomes unpredictable. Various behavior scenarios and the use of artificial intelligence (AI), including its machine learning tools employed for the adverse purposes of enslaving human society, are considered. However, recent studies of mathematicians prove that the possibilities of AI are not unlimited. Like the human mind, AI is limited by the paradoxes of the theory of sets. In this regard, in the development and application of ICT, it is necessary to implement the integrated level of ICT fusion with the evolutionary development of personality and society that would not lead to the suppression of the human thought process by the services of technocratic means.
