Destruction of digital heritage: artificial intelligence in culture and education

The introduction of generative tools based on artificial intelligence into all spheres of humanitarian life in society has become an unexpected reality in recent years. There is a special sphere of public life where the unlimited introduction of artificial intelligence is fraught with devastating consequences - this is the sphere of preserving national and world cultural heritage. The activities of national Governments and private companies to create virtual collections of cultural heritage continue at an active pace. In the Russian Federation, both the state, represented by cultural institutions, and a few enthusiasts are engaged in the creation of virtual collections of historical and cultural heritage. The new digital reality, in the context of protecting copyrighted works from distortion by artificial intelligence, forces some publishers to take steps to protect original texts. The authorities of many countries around the world are taking concrete actions to create a regulatory framework for the use of generative tools. The idea of protecting the national cultural heritage, which is digitally placed in the public domain, has already been proposed earlier by assigning non interchangeable tokens to the "digital originals" of NFT. The creation of a national digital heritage repository based on the blockchain, the general purpose of which will be to preserve the traditional and sovereign cultural matrix, will pay off all possible costs for it, preserving the country's digital cultural heritage for future generations. An urgent need is to create a national neural network focused on the needs and values of Russian culture and education, whose algorithms will be based on the primacy of preserving the country's digital heritage.
