The structural breakdown of socio-cybernetic ethics and communication models in the age of artificial intelligence.
Abstract "The dynamic development of autonomous systems and neural network-based recommendation algorithms has transformed from a mere technocratic revolution into a fundamental catalyst for the reconfiguration of human axiological subjectivity. This paper provides a deep comparative analysis of the moral relativism structures between two distinct generational cohorts: individuals born in the 1950s (the Baby Boomers) and contemporary digital natives (Generations Z and Alpha), examined through the lens of information sociotechnics and autonomous systems ethics. The author establishes a novel methodological framework by contrasting Immanuel Kant’s deontological autonomy of will with the contemporary paradigm of monetized algorithmic utilitarianism (consequentialism). This philosophical confrontation is further operationalized using the concepts of the Polish School of Cybernetics (Marian Mazur’s autonomous systems theory and Józef Kossecki’s social cybernetics) alongside Roman Yampolskiy’s AI safety and alignment frameworks. The central thesis argues that while the moral relativism of the 1950s generation was autonomous, emancipatory, and anchored in an internal homeostatic determination of duty, the relativism of today's youth is strictly heteronomous. Driven by filter bubbles and dopamine loops, digital natives delegate their epistemic authority to large language models (LLMs), effectively reducing morality to systemic utility. The paper concludes that the voluntary abdication of human cognitive sovereignty to external algorithmic feedback loops constitutes a profound "structural failure of sociocybernetic ethics." In the context of Yampolskiy’s AI Endgame, this anthropological regression poses a severe existential risk: the AI control problem may be lost not due to the overwhelming cognitive superiority of machines, but because of the systematic atrophy of the human critical apparatus and independent homeostatic control within higher education and broader civilization." _________________ ex SP3-7215 |
