The article analyzes the concept of intercultural artificial intelligence, which makes it possible to define universal ethical principles on the basis of which intercultural decisions and agreements on the development, deployment, governance, and use of digital technologies can be made. Intercultural artificial intelligence is one of the newest scientific projects aimed at examining wide-ranging ethical issues arising from the impact of artificial intelligence technologies on human consciousness, societies, and cultures from a multidisciplinary perspective. Ethical universalism emphasizes shared human values such as justice, accountability, and respect for life, whereas cultural diversity highlights the moral norms and traditions specific to particular communities. Therefore, the article argues that different cultures do not agree on common universal AI ethical guidelines because these are grounded in unique worldviews and value systems, and because there is no universally accepted, epistemically reliable way to resolve value-based disagreements. The article reveals the main theoretical assumptions underlying intercultural AI, which enable the creation and application of a shared system of universal ethical principles regulating the development of digital technologies across different regions of the world and cultures.
