On the Diversity and Classification of information theories of the Project of Artificial Societies

Abstract

An urgent problem of artificial intelligence and artificial society is the possibility of using so-called nano-bio-info-cognitive technologies for their development. The convergence of such different technologies is itself a complex and complex problem. The article generalizes the problem of classification of scientific theories. Many provisions of this problem have been fragmentarily considered by other authors. The problem itself, in a certain sense, is connected with L. Floridi's well-known problem about the possibility of building a unified information theory. The formulation of the question of the classification of information theories has quite obvious novelty, since in the Russian scientific and educational literature it has already been established for many years to consider the mathematical theory of communication by K. Shannon as the only possible one. This article presents an original classification of well-known theories, concepts and hypotheses related to information.
