Abstract
The article studies the specifics of time and space in Olena Krasnoselska’s novel SOLpik through the light of artistic representation of the possibilities of their AI (artificial intelligence) modeling. The article proves that in terms of modern advancements in science and technology, the methods of modeling time and space by AI depicted in the novel (their 3D printing with the help of artificial intelligence) seem to be theoretically justified and predictable. The authors of the present paper pay special attention to the analysis of the writer’s philosophical reflections on the essence of time and space, as well as the consequences of active human interaction with artificial intelligence. It is noted that the image of the future presented by Olena Krasnoselska, where artificial intelligence can get out of control and begin modeling the space-time continuum, creating virtual reality, seems quite believable in the context of scientific and technological achievements of the 21st century. This story reflects the ideas of modern science and the attitude towards its attainments. The article concludes that all of the above-mentioned facts give grounds for identifying the piece by the Ukrainian writer as a ‘prophecy novel’. Also, it outlines the perspectives of studies related to the analysis of the chronotope of ‘science-fictional AI’ in view of the achievements of modern scientific and technological progress.
