Opportunities and Risks of Technological Enhancement of the Monitoring System of Inter-Ethnic and Inter-Confessional Relations and Early Prevention of Conflict Situations

The paper considers the risks of implementation of the technocratic model of national policy for local and regional communities. Two groups of socio-cultural determinants that govern the emergence of projects for technological enhancement of the monitoring system of the interethnic relations are highlighted: sociotechnical and managerial fictions. The example of introduction of artificial intelligence system into the procedures of information collection and analysis in the system of interethnic relations monitoring shows the contradiction between the growing influence of the techno-science and the underestimation of risks caused by the implementation of innovations. The paper also justifies the important role of institutions of public expertise in assessing the risks facing the society due to the implementation of projects of innovative and human development.
