Digital totalitarianism - from Homo sapiens to “one-button man”

Abstract

The article is devoted to the process of digitalization taking place in Russia in the context of the industrial revolution 4.0. The purpose of the article is to consider the process of introducing digital technologies as drivers of the reorganization of the entire way of life of Russian society, the disclosure of the concept of “digital totalitarianism". The process of digitalization affected not only all spheres of the economy, but also significantly affected the development of social institutions and the individual as a participant in this process. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to perform the following tasks: to determine the process of digitalization, to study state projects for digitalization in Russia – “Digital Economy of Russia until 2024”, “Education 2030”, to study the degree of involvement of Russian consumer and business communities in the use of digital platforms; to determine the consequences of the inevitable digital revolution, and what is the role of the state in them. The object of the study is the process of digitalization of the economy and its impact on human activity. The subject of the research is the specific features of the digitalization process that determine the future prospects of interaction between humans and artificial intelligence (neural networks and cybersystems). The hypothesis of the study: total digital transformation in Russia is the only possible scenario for the development and formation of a completely ” new “state based on the” digital economy”, ensuring competitiveness in the global market and improving all spheres of Russian life. The article examines the data on the current level of development of digital technologies in Russia and in the world, identifies the main trends and the most important problems of the development and impact of digital technologies on people.

“…This is conducted by the definition of a set of values for the potential of the common resources of the land. Following that, we propose functions that define a collection of system states, as well as a set of probabilities for each of those states (Kurochkina et al, 2021).…”

Sustainability of quality of life investments based on the digital transformation

“…Mathematical models designed to forecast the dynamics of investment projects with risky returns are necessary for socially responsible activities. 1 The considered activities aimed at maintaining or improving the quality of life of the population. This applies, primarily to certain groups of society such as the elderly, and others in need of social protection, youth, women, and minors.…”

[1][2][3] Such institutional investors in the world have a significant impact on the business climate due to the scale of their activities. 4 Over the following decades, they are among the top participants in NYSE (The New York Stock Exchange), SSE (Shanghai Stock Exchange), and LSE (London Stock Exchange) securities markets and stand out on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.…”

“…This research outlines the methods and results aimed at the digital transformation of methods for forecasting long-term institutional investments. [1][2][3] The most significant benefit to the study is brought by mathematical modeling with the use of computer calculations. This is because it becomes possible to replicate the results and implement the obtained algorithms as part of expert systems and automated software systems for consulting specialists and helping in making decisions.…”

Assessment of the quality of distance (digital) education: analysis of the digital footprint of participants in the educational process

“…Сейчас приходит понимание, что тотальная цифровая трансформация в России -это единственно возможный сценарий развития и формирования совершенно «нового» государства, основанного на «цифровой экономике», более того, на «цифровом обществе», обеспечивающего конкурентоспособность на мировом рынке и улучшающего все сферы жизни России [9]. В последние годы мы стали свидетелями быстрого и повсеместного распространения информационных технологий, интернет-приложений и платформ, обычно называемых социальными сетями, которые в значительной степени проникают почти во все аспекты нашей жизни, включая обучение, образование и профессиональное развитие [15].…”
