Abstract
Nowadays, in the twenties of the XXI century, many problems seemed to be fantastic plots not so long ago, twenty or thirty years ago, are becoming obvious. They are: robotization, artificial intelligence, replacing people by machine guns, which will lead to mass unemployment and uselessness of a person in the future world. Such expectations are called «conflictogenic»ones, because they cause disturbing moods in the society. Indeed, the artificial intelligence works better in a number of human labor spheres. Tasks as recruitment for an organization, accounting operations, dispatching, vehicle controlling are in some cases shifted to robots, an electronic brain. The robotization process is still gradually taking place in the world; it is still more profitable to use cheaper human labor than machines in underdeveloped countries. However, there are no guarantees that the process of replacing people with automatic devices will not become explosive. The International Monetary Fund has developed scenarios for possible options to introduce the artificial intelligence in mankind’s life. Because the process is already underway, the first symptoms of conflict are evident. The study represents the reactions of young generation representatives to phenomena in the society related to entering the artificial intelligence into real life. Nowadays disturbing conflictogens in implementing the artificial intelligence are self-isolation; self-employment; loneliness; uselessness for the society as an unclaimed specialist who cannot offer himself; reality illusion in the virtual reality; physiological atrophy, deterioration in health; suicidal tendencies; criminal tendencies (hacking). The author reveals character fears of different age groups. The paper shows viewpoints on the situation of futurologists, formulates thoughts on the qualities necessary for a person in the nearest future including widespread the artificial intelligence use in various life fields.
