Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Sociality: Sociological Interpretation and Interdisciplinary Approach

Abstract

The subject of this study is the participants in artificial sociality (humans and artificial intelligence (AI) tools) and communication between them. The first section analyses (using Luhmann’s methodology) communication as the basis of sociality. The second section shows how AI tools became social technologies in the framework of artificial sociality. The third section describes experimental communication between authors and AI tools (the case of ChatGPT). For the first time in the Baltic countries, the authors examined sociological, humanitarian, natural and technological aspects of the functioning AI tools, which participate in creation of a new social reality for human society – artificial sociality.
