About Our Mission
Our mission is to unite the capabilities of researchers and teachers from different countries and sciences to study and effectively use AI in various fields of activity, taking into account all possible risks and benefits of this technology.

We proceed from the principles of humanism and environmental friendliness in the approach to studying and regulating human interaction with AI. We are interested in interest in scientific progress, techno-optimism regarding artificial intelligence and understanding its role in the development of humanity.
Why We Founded the Laboratory
The widespread dissemination of AI technologies and practices in contemporary society has already demonstrated that their implementation entails both significant benefits—such as increased labor productivity, the automation of routine tasks, and enhanced communication in multilingual environments—and serious risks, ranging from plagiarism to violations of individual rights in totalitarian regimes and modern corporations.

A particularly pressing issue is the growing use of AI in corporate environments, which raises concerns about potential job displacement, unfair competition, and bias in recruitment and personnel evaluation.

There are also considerable risks to the psychological well-being of users of AI-based products, especially across different age groups and levels of preparedness for interaction with emerging technologies.
Traditional frameworks for the ethical and legal regulation of human-technology interactions require reconsideration and revision in order to address the specific challenges posed by AI. These updated approaches are essential for mitigating risks and maximizing the societal benefits of AI integration across all areas of human activity.

In response to these challenges, a group of scholars and experts has established the Laboratory for Humanities Research in Artificial Intelligence. The Laboratory aims to investigate key issues and disseminate knowledge related to the expanding integration of AI into modern life.

The Laboratory brings together specialists from a range of disciplines within the humanities—including philosophy, psychology, sociology, law, cultural studies, and art history.
Research Areas and Thematic Focus
We aim to study human–AI interaction as comprehensively as possible, drawing on the resources and potential of contemporary humanities scholarship.

Identity, Emotional Well-Being, and Psychological Safety in Human–AI Relations
Today, society faces complex challenges arising from the integration of artificial intelligence into everyday human life.

Among the key tasks of the modern individual are: preserving one’s identity and emotional well-being, redefining social roles in critical spheres of activity, and at the same time harnessing the transformative potential of AI for (post)personal development and for overcoming limitations imposed both by the natural "human condition" and by various socio-cultural factors.

We seek to understand how each of us will navigate these tasks amid the unfolding technological revolution and ongoing social turbulence.

The Potential of AI for Effective Academic Learning
This research area explores the interaction between artificial intelligence and learners within the educational process. It encompasses the analysis of the epistemology and content of such interaction, models of AI integration, student motivation, and behavioral dynamics.

The goal is to compare learning outcomes with those of traditional methods and to identify how AI transforms the processes of cognition and approaches to acquiring knowledge.

The Philosophy of Language in Generative Language Models
This research area examines the intersection of artificial intelligence, the philosophy of language, and speech act theory, exploring language as an autonomous system that transcends human exclusivity.

With the advancement of machine language generation technologies, a new concept emerges: language exists independently of who speaks it—human or machine.

By producing meaningful texts, AI becomes a full-fledged participant in communication, challenging traditional notions of thought and intelligence.

The Ethics of Artificial Moral Agents
The research field lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence technologies and practical philosophy, focusing on the moral dimensions of autonomous systems. Studies in machine ethics aim to develop AMAs capable of making ethically grounded decisions.

A central question concerns the moral status of such agents: if an AMA exhibits behavioral similarity to moral agents, it may be granted an artificial moral status.

This field seeks to design AMAs that incorporate human values in order to mitigate the risks associated with technological singularity.

Artificial Intelligence and Contemporary Theories of Consciousness
Research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and contemporary theories of consciousness seeks to understand the nature of consciousness and its emergence from physical processes.

Recent advances in AI have enabled deeper exploration of this phenomenon and the testing of hypotheses regarding its origins.

The integration of philosophical inquiry into human consciousness with AI methodologies opens new perspectives and supports the development of strategies for assessing and mitigating the risks associated with the potential emergence of artificial consciousness.
