The research aims to explore the place and role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the transformative changes in the economy and the system of social relations, including the prospects for the socialization and humanization of AI. To obtain reliable research results, the author employs an advanced methodology—specifically, a transformative-super cointegrating methodology of analysis and design. This allows the author to make reasoned conclusions in response to the following key questions: (1) whether the pervasive integration of AI into human life and society is accidental or systemic; (2) to what extent the economy and society are substantially transformed as a result; (3) what are the prospects for socializing and humanizing AI itself; and (4) to what extent AI is autonomous as a transformational factor. The conclusions drawn are distinguished by their originality and novelty; they are as follows: (1) the emergence of AI and its impact on the economy and society are entirely logical and even predictable; (2) under the influence of AI, the economy and society significantly and even essentially transform their type, yet not fundamentally or in a revolutionary manner; (3) the prospects for socializing and humanizing AI are determined by the inevitable prospects of socio-economic development and are subject to them; and (4) the place and role of AI in transforming the economy and society are auxiliary, not autonomous, not defining in nature.
