Intelligence and Reason in the System of Creative Thinking of Humans and Machines

The invention of artificial intelligence (AI) systems threatens humanity with becoming dependent on modern computing systems and, as a consequence, the rapid degradation of human mental abilities. This inevitably entails the need for a person to clearly define his place in the system of formation of new relations in the information civilization.
The determination of a person’s place in the new system of developing relations in civilization presupposes the search for the necessary criteria for recognizing the two forms of intellectual activity that have emerged today. Intelligence is associated with creativity, therefore, definitions of recognition of human and machine intelligence must be sought in the features of the formation of the new. The solution to this problem should allow a person to focus exclusively on those forms of possible creativity that no one and nothing else is capable of.
A clear delineation of the spheres of activity of human and machine intelligence should enable a restructuring of the entire system of social relations. Optimization will be primarily required in the education and upbringing systems to develop the necessary personality; bureaucratic structures to organize the governance of society; and business structures to fully automate the production of the benefits of civilization.
An analysis of the works of German classical idealist thinkers on the mind has allowed us to build a bridge from the past to the modern conceptual recognition of the creative potential of human and machine intelligence. All this allows us, on the one hand, to distinguish between the concepts of reason and intelligence, and on the other, to define a new place for humans in the culture of civilization, which will determine, and not be determined by, the development of AI.
Value and scientific novelty. AI always operates within the field of already existing knowledge of all cultures that the information network of modern civilization has at its disposal. But machine intelligence does not possess reason, and therefore is incapable of working in the area of boundary-value problems of thinking. Only the human mind, connected with the highest forms of organization of existence: society, the Cosmos and God, is capable of working in the field of generating fundamentally new ideas.
