Digital Ecosystems in the Socio-anthropological Dimension

Abstract

The characteristic of the new social structure known as the concept of Society 5.0 in the context of total digitalisation of all spheres of social life is given. The consonance of the Society model 5.0. to the ideas of transhumanism in the views on the formation of the posthuman as a person of the coming digital era, preserving his biological essence and anthropological attributes is revealed. It is shown that the latest digital technologies are designed according to the principle of organisation of natural biological systems, in particular, computer neural networks, evolutionary computing, genetic programming, digital ecosystems simulate neural connections in the biological brain, the biosphere principle of natural selection, chromosomal mutations in living cells, the structure of natural objects, etc. The features of adaptive management as a way of self-organisation of digital ecosystems are formulated: modular structure, compatibility of products and technologies, multi-vector communications, actions of all system participants according to unified protocols. The social and personal risks of digitalisation are highlighted. The prerequisites of the potential problem of the imbalance of artificial and human intelligence from the position of the current ethical norms are outlined. The need for socio-humanitarian diagnostics and ontological examination of the prospects of human compatibility with the new digital reality is substantiated.
