The purpose of the article was to highlight the philosophical and axiological guidelines in the moral and ethical dimension of artificial intelligence. The task of the article was to analyse the ideas and beliefs in the contemporary scientific discourse on the positioning of artificial intelligence in the mental and worldview paradigm of the modern world. Based on the analysed scientific works (a total of 55 studies covering the issues of correlation between morality and artificial intelligence published over the past 5 years), an attempt was made in order to determine the relationship between morality and technicality. Methodology. The methodological arsenal was provided by general scientific methods, primarily of the analytical cluster. At the same time, purely philosophical methodological approaches were used: dialectical and synergistic methods, which determined the level of coexistence and interaction between artificial intelligence and moral norms. The results of the study indicated the inter-integration of technology and morality in modern society. This trend is expressed in several key dimensions: artificial intelligence as the basis for a new moral paradigm, the transformation of morality under the influence of artificial intelligence, balance, and autonomy of innovative technologicality and traditional morality. Prospects for further research include the development of unified guidelines that will determine the moral norms of artificial intelligence and the potential level of technological impact on the transformation of morality. Conclusion. Thus, artificial intelligence has de facto integrated into socio-cultural use at the global level, which has actualised the need for its assessment and understanding in terms of morality and ethical principles.
