DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONS AND KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN BUSINESS: NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR HUMAN POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

This article explores the impact of digital transformations on the development of human potential and socio-economic systems within the context of intellectual business, and identifies promising measures to facilitate their effective development. The role of theoretical approaches and concepts in understanding digital transformations, intellectual business, human potential development, and socio-economic systems is analyzed. The essence and interrelationship of key research categories – digital transformations, intellectual business, human potential, and socio-economic systems – are substantiated. Digital transformations are interpreted in the article as a process of profound changes in society and the economy driven by the adoption of digital technologies. It is substantiated that digital transformations impact society, the economy, labor, and human life; they create new opportunities and challenges for knowledge-driven businesses, necessitate the qualitative advancement of human potential, and fundamentally reshape socio-economic systems. The directions of digital transformations' impact on human potential development in the context of intellectual business are identified and analyzed: personalized education and lifelong learning; hybrid work and digital autonomy; data-driven decision support systems; creativity development through artificial intelligence tools; inclusivity and access to global opportunities; ethics and security in the digital environment; and transformation of leadership and management. It is revealed that, on the one hand, digital transformations expand opportunities for self-development of human potential, and on the other hand, expose systemic imbalances. The analysis determines that digital transformations have a dual impact on socio-economic systems, particularly on the labor market and education. The impact of digitalization on social inequality and patterns of economic growth is clarified. Key perspectives and strategic tasks for the development of human potential and socio-economic systems in the context of digital transformations are outlined.
