“…Moreover, the problem of the lack of one definitive, an unambiguous definition of SD, is closely related to the multidimensional issue of SD, since it takes into account, for example, the spatial, institutional, and even moral dimensions, and additionally tries to place all this into an intergenerational perspective. In the case of H+, the Encyclopedia Britannica presents the following definition by Sean Hays: Trans-humanism, social and philosophical movement devoted to promoting the research and development of robust human-enhancement technologies (Hays, 2014). In turn, Max More, a leading transhumanist, formulated a definition of H+ accepted by almost all environments related to H+ and available on the official H+ website.…”

Both sustainable development and transhumanism are based on forecasting, meaning making judgments about what the future will be like, and they are made according to the results of scientific research. Sustainable development is an already implemented concept, yet transhumanism is still far from a similar degree of implementation. However, it is worth reflecting on their coexistence, as they already have their place in the scientific discourse. The element connecting sustainable development with transhumanism seems to be an enlightenment vision of human development. The aim of the article is to show the similarities and differences in these approaches to future generations.

“…It can be stated that "(...) transhumanism is an intellectual and cultural movement premised upon the idea that human beings can use science and technology to significantly enhance their capabilities and thereby overcome many of the limitations of human biology" (Huberman, 2018). Generally speaking, this concept assumes that widely understood technologiesin particular, robotics, AI, biological implants and the development of biotechnologywill improve the human condition in the future in terms of health, life expectancy and physical and intellectual abilities (Hays, 2014). The scale of the implementation of transhumanism is broad and may include simple body modifications or advances in genetic research, but also…”

PurposeThe subject of the article is the concept of augmented intelligence, which constitutes a further stage in the development of research on artificial intelligence. This is a new phenomenon that has rarely been considered in the subject literature so far, which may be interesting for the fields of social sciences and humanities. The aim is to describe the features of this technology and determine the practical and ethical problems associated with its implementation in libraries.Design/methodology/approachThe method of literature review was used. Systematic searches according to specific questions were carried out using the Scopus and Web of Science scientific databases, as well as Google Scholar and the LISTA abstract database.FindingsThe results established that the issue of augmented intelligence has barely been discussed in the field of librarianship. Although this technology may be interesting as a new area of librarian research and as a new framework for designing innovative services, deep ethical consideration is necessary before this technology is introduced in libraries.Research limitations/implicationsThe article deals with some of the newest technologies available, and this topic is generally very rarely discussed in scientific publications in either the social sciences or humanities. Therefore, due to the limited availability of materials, the findings presented in the article are primarily of a conceptual nature. The aim is to present this topic from the perspective of librarianship and to create a starting point for further discussion on the ethical aspects of introducing new technologies in libraries.Practical implicationsThe results can be widely used in practice as a framework for the implementation of augmented intelligence in libraries.Social implicationsThe article can help to facilitate the debate on the role of implementing new technologies in libraries.Originality/valueThe problem of augmented intelligence is very rarely addressed in the subject literature in the field of library and information science.
