Summary/Abstract: The paper is focused on a few ideas of two contemporary philosophers - Bernard Stiegler and Odo Marquard. Stiegler was a critic of contemporary techniques, while Marquard offered some well-aimed ideas about contemporary society in the age of technical progress. Contemporary techniques, at the top of which is artificial intelligence, indicate the well-being of contemporary society. But this well-being perhaps should be written with a negative sign. The loss of the innate technical abilities that make up the essence of an individual means the loss of a technical individual. Technology as memory in the broadest sense is no longer the property of man, but industrial memory. Continuous learning throughout life, aimed at overcoming the backwardness of our consciousness from industrial technology and artificial intelligence, leads to a complete loss of human experience.
