description The article is devoted to the issues of transformation of authorship and subjectivity, which is observed in the modern information space. The concept of “death of the author”, developed in the 20th century philosophers of postmodernism (W. Benjamin, J. Derrida, R. Barthes, M. Foucault), is interpreted as one of the cultural and philosophical foundations of the culture of artificial intelligence (AI). It is noted that AI has a significant impact on the modern information space, reinforcing in it the tendencies of anonymity and lack of subjectivity. Using methods of analysis, synthesis, observation, description, interpretation and others, the phenomena of “death of the author” in the modern information space, both directly related to AI and not, are considered. The lack of indication of authors of media publications, concealment of authorship in social networks, the phenomenon of reposting, scientific plagiarism, the game of writers with pseudonyms and other phenomena are considered as modern manifestations of the transformation of authorship. Attention is drawn to the increase in the number of authors, the removal of the opposition between authors and addressees. Feeling like a component of a formed cultural space, a person does not consider it necessary to highlight his authorship, believing himself to simply transmit existing meanings; this is similar to the non-author’s translation of the meanings of human culture by neural networks. It is concluded that AI, as an active subject that generates content on the Internet, but does not claim authorship, influences the assessment of its own authorship by other subjects of the information space and their attitude towards authorship.
