Abstract

The aim of the article is to study the features and technologies of artificial intelligence related to the state field and the political sphere of activity of a modern citizen. The methodological basis of the work was the principles of Case Study, comparative analysis. The SWOT analysis was used as another method. The fundamental analytical tool was the principles of the functional approach of Frank Johnson Goodnow, who shared the «state» and «political». The author came to the conclusion that digital rituals are rather contradictory elements of communication - they have both a collective and an individualistic beginning. The main digital phenomena are analyzed. First, a citizen has his own digital avatar - a virtual embodiment of a person, reflecting his image and the most significant characteristic features of his character, individual digital rituals. In addition, non-human digital avatars of the «virtual politician» and «virtual official» appear that are directly related to AI. Secondly, disparate digital avatars can absorb a political interface - a complex of collective and standardized digital rituals that an individual must adhere to if he wants to remain part of a certain political community and network communication space. Secondly, disparate digital avatars can absorb a political interface – a complex of collective and standardized digital rituals that an individual must adhere to if he wants to remain part of a certain political community and network communication space. Thanks to AI, the political interface is able to create a politically determined standardization of the communication functionality offered to users. The thesis is substantiated, according to which the introduction of AI technologies contributes more to expanding control over a citizen than increasing the volume of his political rights. A variety of AI practices in the field of state security, e-government, diplomacy and geopolitics and a relatively small number of AI cases in public policy and party work are revealed.
