Beyond AGI: Hybrid Cognitive Civilization and AGE

The article questions the linear model of artificial intelligence development, in which AGI is merely a stepping stone to ASI. The author proposes a shift from analyzing competencies alone to the concept of Artificial General Experience (AGE), which introduces the dimensions of time, context, and memory. The text emphasizes the fundamental differences between human biological cognition—rooted in evolution and homeostasis—and the mathematical-computational nature of AI. Instead of seeking homology between mechanisms, focus should be placed on the functional complementarity of both systems. The development of AI is presented as a multidimensional evolution leading not to the replacement of humans, but to the emergence of a hybrid cognitive civilization, where the key question becomes the interoperability of thought infrastructure and the preservation of cognitive sovereignty.
