The Axiology of Technology on the Way to the Human Dimension of Complex Technical Systems

The article considers the axiology of technology as a promising direction of the philosophy of science - the direction that is able to form a new vector of research in the field of complex human-sized systems generated by modern technogenic civilization. The consideration of these systems was started in theworks of V.S. Stepin and continued by V.E. Lepskiy and V.I. Arshinov, who connected this problem with the concept of subjectness. The human dimension of technical systems is understood as their conformity to the values of humans and society as individual and collective subjects. The author makes an assumption that this kind of conformity is possible only when technical systems reach a level of complexity that will allow them to be included in the scheme of relations of subjects. Modern technical systems based on artificial intelligence are able to demonstrate a resemblance of some of the properties of subjectness, which makes it possible to regard them as pseudo-subjects and include them in subjects' relations. This work suggests a way to further develop a subject-ori ented approach based on post-non-classical scientific rationality through the creation of a three-part scheme of the following types of subjects of value relations: human as an individual subject, society as a collective subject, complex technical systems based on artificial intelligence as a pseudo-subject. Each type of subjects corresponds to its own level of value attitude, which consists in direct dependence on whether the subject appears to be the ultimate reality or depends in its existence on another subject. The presence of a direct relationship between these levels ensures the human dimension of complex technical systems by including them in a holistic scheme of value-colored interaction of subjects. The article also points out the danger of anthropomorphization of pseudo-subjects.
