SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DIGITALIZATION OF THE ECONOMY

The relevance of the socio-philosophical analysis of the digitalization of the economy as a multidimensional process goes beyond purely economic changes and affects all aspects of public life. The article discusses the key social transformations associated with digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation. They are based on new phenomena such as labor automation, digital inequality, changing communication models, and the formation of a new social identity. The aim of the study is a socio-philosophical analysis of the digitalization of the economy as a complex social and economic phenomenon of a dynamic process and civilizational shift. The objectives of the study are: 1) to analyze the digital economy as a dynamic process and civilizational shift in the context of digital transformation; 2) to reveal the concepts of digitalization, digitization and digital transformation as social phenomena and their impact on the economy, society, state, and governance; 3) to clarify the social, ethical and existential aspects of the digitalization of the economy. Digitalization, digitization, and digital transformation are three different concepts that are interrelated but have different meanings and levels of impact on the economy and society. The article considers the digitalization of the economy as a process of introducing digital technologies into the traditional economy to increase efficiency, automate business processes and improve management. Digitalization is the adaptation of the traditional economy to digital technologies. The author analyzes the role of digital technologies in transforming social relations, shifting centers of power, and creating new ethical challenges. Digital processes not only modernize the economy, but also change the social structure, political systems, and management approaches. Digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation are three levels of digitalization that have different impacts on social institutions and structures. It is concluded that digitalization is not just an economic phenomenon, but a global civilizational shift that requires a comprehensive understanding and balance between technological progress and humanistic values.
