cyberspace, ontology, artificial intelligence, human-machine interaction, digital existence, cyber ontology, posthumanism, virtual realityAbstract
This article analyzes the ontological relations between humans and machines in cyberspace within the context of digital civilization. The study examines the transformation of traditional ontological paradigms under the influence of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, algorithmic systems, and cybernetic communication. Special attention is devoted to the interaction between human consciousness and machine intelligence, as well as to the philosophical implications of digital existence. The article also explores the concepts of posthumanism, transhumanism, and cyber ontology, highlighting the emergence of hybrid forms of existence in cyberspace. The research employs comparative, hermeneutic, and dialectical methods to reveal the evolving nature of human-machine relations in the digital era.
