Abstract

Today, the world stands on the threshold of the sixth technological order and a new scientific and technological revolution. The development of artificial intelligence technologies has transformed almost all spheres of human life, influenced his socio-cultural space, forming new models of self-awareness and self-identification, changing the idea of freedom, rights and responsibilities. In the context of the digital paradigm, the idea of digital human rights is emerging as a response to new, previously unknown threats to human identity. The article pays special attention to the impact of digital technologies on the biological and social (spiritual) nature of man. It is postulated that digital technologies have an impact, if not on the essence of a person, then on the self-perception of this essence, on the image and meanings of human life, creating prerequisites for the establishment of a new generation of human rights.
