In the present article, the author considers the topical issue of human-machine collaboration, as interest in such an issue is caused not only by the technical and economic consequences of the broadening of the scope of artificial sociality. The article aims to clarify the scientific and theoretical prerequisites for the statements made by some sociologists on the emergence and broadening of the scope of artificial sociality as a real result of human-machine communication. This is achieved by solving the following tasks: 1) analysis of the scientists’ and researchers’ statements either on the presence or the fundamental impossibility of artificial sociality; 2) analysis of N. Luhmannís theory on communication as the basis of sociality; 3) considering some assessments by certain authors given to the deepening of human-machine cooperation, which contribute to the broadening of the scope of artificial sociality; 4) outlining further directions for studying the artificial sociality. In the given article, the author uses the methods of comparative analysis, analogy, generalization, classification, structural-functional and semiotic methods. All of them are united within an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the stated theory. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the comparative historical analysis of the concepts of changing sociality, especially N. Luhmann’s theory of communication. This allowed the author to formulate his own definition of sociality - natural and artificial - from the point of view of the sociology. The author understands sociality as the essence of communication of agents, who autonomously function in a self-organizing network of an autopoiesis nature. In the final part of the article, the author considers several issues that demand more active and innovative participation of sociologists in their solution: the need of a new methodology for assessing the scope and consequences of the broadening of artificial sociality in the short-term and the long-term; study of the forms of organizing contact between humans and devices with artificial intelligence, especially in the case of machines using non-binary logic; the role of culture in broadening human-machine collaboration.
