Digital man as a philosophical problem

Abstract

It is proposed to consider a digital person as the latest stage of human development as a major object and subject of information relations in the information society at the latest stages of its development; as a postmodern type of a homo sapiens capable of processing information, creating new information phenomena, interconnections and structures. It is substantiated that the transition to a digital person occurred due to convergence of technologies of artificial intelligence, machine training and powerful databases capable of using an unlimited amount of information for its processing, classification and multiple use. The attention is drawn to the fact that a digital person is, first of all, a person of new moral values, which immerses in the virtual reality of simulations and increasingly perceives the world as a digital game environment, realizing its conventionality, controllability of its parameters and the possibility of exiting it.
