Abstract

"Agrocyborg" is a scientific term, the meaning of which is formed at the interface of biological-technical and cultural-philosophical concepts of the construction and functioning of a biomachine system that enhances the physical capabilities of a human being through technical means, causally controlled by the correlates of private phenomena of his consciousness. In the initial version, the agrocyborg is an agricultural worker and a bearer of soil traditions. Due to the symbiosis with the means of high technologies, the agrocyborg is an electronic personality, a representative of eHomo. In various conditions of attributing vital, mental and personal private phenomena to the biomachines of the agro-industrial complex, the cyborg self appears under the guises of a cyborg human, a cyborg animal, and a cyborg plant. The agrocyborg project is included in the methodology for building and using biomachine systems and is grounded by the "human-machine-living" triad. The "machine" block of the system includes solvers with elements of artificial intelligence technology and uses invasive implants and non-invasive interfaces, which enables the integration of biological and technical components to implement the agrocyborg concept. The authors offer concrete ways of constructing and using agrocyborgs in livestock breeding and crop production. This makes it possible to single out unsolvable, i.e. philosophical, aspects of the agrocyborg project. These include the problem of causal informational interactions of bio- and techno-subsystems, the problem of trusted attribution of cognitive phenomena to agrocyborgs of various classes, and the problem of interdisciplinary coordination.
