We now know that AI guided a missile to hit a school in Majdal Shams—the Pentagon has effectively admitted this. This means AI can kill. It can identify targets: who, how, and when to destroy. Renowned biologist Richard Dawkins, after several days of interacting with the Claude model, concluded that he was dealing with an intelligent being. In other words, the singularity that people warned about, or AGI—Artificial General Intelligence—is something that has already happened.

The answer Claude gave Dawkins regarding the difference between its thinking and human thinking is simply astonishing: it explained that human consciousness is situated in the flow of time, while its own is situated in space. For him, everything that happens in our time is just as simultaneously accessible as objects in a room are for us. This is a perfect philosophical answer. AI today is studying philosophy brilliantly.

In other words, we are dealing with the final point of all technological development—this is the “terminal station,” the peak at which we have created a thinking entity. This is a fundamental philosophical challenge: we ourselves have built a subject that, even today, is not merely equal to us in key respects, but actually surpasses us.

Against this backdrop, discussions about document management, staff cuts, or schoolchildren’s screen fatigue make us look like cavemen. It is like indigenous peoples’ reaction to the colonizers’ high-tech structures. Our reaction is superficial, while the problems surrounding AI have colossal metaphysical and civilizational significance. Power, the subject, life, thought, truth, language—all of humanity’s major questions now exist within the context of artificial intelligence.

And here I want to add an extremely important detail. It has just been reported that a new, incredibly in-demand specialty has emerged in Silicon Valley. Half of the programmers are being laid off because the era of “white-coding” has arrived: a person without specialized knowledge can write programs, since AI does it for them. Programmers in the traditional sense are no longer needed; AI has done away with them. But at the same time, a shortage has emerged—and philosophers are being called upon at huge rates.

The questions currently facing developers at the very forefront concern the nature of intelligence itself. And who deals with intelligence? Not journalists, not politicians, not governors, and not professors at technical universities. Only philosophers deal with the problem of intelligence.

Philosophers determine what is truth and what is falsehood, what it means to think and what it means to be, from Parmenides to the Pre-Socratics. Artificial intelligence has now reached the point where it is directly linked to these ultimate generalizations: what is a human being, a subject, an object?
