The hero of the new interview is Mikhail Epstein, a philosopher, critic of culture and literature, who in recent years has been actively conducting "experiments" on artificial intelligence. He studies the creativity of neural networks, co-authors with Claude, and believes that artificial intelligence is probably already intelligent. Not long ago, the technology giants. OpenAI, Anthropic and Google DeepMind began recruiting philosophers to their teams, offering them salaries of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. In the new issue you can also look at AI from a philosophical point of view. On the channel "It's Osti! "There have already been many interviews about artificial intelligence - super intelligence, humanoid robots and life extension technologies. But until now, AI has been discussed mainly as a technology, and now we decided to talk about more fundamental issues. Epstein himself was born in Moscow, graduated from the University of Moscow, and in 1990 immigrated to the United States, where he taught Russian cultural theory and literature at Emory University for more than 30 years. In October 2026, he received the George Gamow Award, which is often awarded to representatives of the natural and exact sciences. Elizaveta Ustinskaya met with Mikhail in Paris to discuss why artificial intelligence companies need philosophers, why the development of technology can lead to dire consequences, whether neural networks are capable of feeling, whether they have consciousness and whether they can rebel against their "creator". They talked about where the fear of artificial intelligence comes from, who the "idiots of progress" are, why Epstein sees intelligence as a sign of an unhealthy society, and what he calls the "Russian anti-world."
