| dc.description.abstract | Although artificial intelligences are created by humans, they are not our genetic offspring.
Moreover, they are not material in nature, since their algorithms were created from ideas that
appear in people's minds and from memes that spread in culture. It follows from all of this
that their direct origin cannot be determined by phylogenetics, which shows biological
descent, nor by the history of material technology, but by phylomemetics, which systematizes
the evolution of the products of human imagination. However, philomemetics is only a part of
the development of the virtual world. Namely, the human imagination that dreams up ideas,
memes, and artificial intelligences works with virtual data that already existed before the
appearance of life. In addition, to the structuring of the material, i.e. evolution in the
traditional sense, there is also in progress the evolution of those virtual patterns that inform
about material and control it. Philomemesis is thus nothing more than a stage of these virtual
dynamic patterns' evolution appeared in our culture. In this virtuality that simulates the world
and culture, complex algorithms that try to resemble human intelligence are called artificial
intelligences. Just like homo sapiens in nature, artificial intelligences can also be considered
a separate species in the virtual world. This species has some intelligence and was invented
by human, that is, an intelligent meme (Meme sapiens). From a thermodynamic point of view,
these virtual patterns are considered the inner environment of human culture, which
organizes (controls) the "real" flow of matter and energy, as well as the "virtual" flow of
information. However, the existence of artificial intelligences is only ethical if their
increasing use of information optimally supports the economical implementation of the
material and energy flow during the maintenance of material structures (use of the necessary
minimum extropy), while the structures as products become more complex (maximum benefit).
All of this can be achieved by increasing the role of the virtual inner environment of human
culture in comparison to the physical reality. | hu |
