SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE AND ARTIFACTUALNESS

One of the most underestimated aspects of human intelligence is its creative component. The complexity of cognitive system reaches a point where the trial and error conduct is unsatisfactory. The human level of intelligence achieved a superior level of (self)awareness. The self-reflective loop produced by decision-makings converts to self-reflexivity as soon as two conditions are met: certain level of self-awareness and one's recognition in 'the other'. The achieved self-reflexive stance and act upgrade the process of knowledge from the order of discovery and arbitrary invention to the order of creation and self-creation. The self-created identity and self-supporting knowledge are the minimal conditions for the emergence of the spiritual transcendence sense and the self-creative character of this spiritual understanding requires creativity as prerequisite. Herein lays one of the most essential queries for artificial intelligence design with the consequent essential questions: The self-creation spiral of future collective consciousness includes artificial intelligence as a means or as fundamental element? Artificial intelligence is part of spiritual evolution in Universe or just its co-generic companion? This article shows that the answer lays in the very meaning of Spirituality.
