The author of the paper examines the prerequisites and factors of the formation of a new socio-technological reality – a new socio-technoworld, and features and structural components of this phenomenon. He notes that engineering and technology have always been very important for man and society, at the same time, the current stage of sociotechnogenesis is distinguished by the fact that for the first time in the history of civilizational development, technical and technological know-how are aimed at strengthening not only the physical, but also the intellectual qualities of people. That’s why the author draws his attention to a number of formal, legal, socio-cultural and value problems of the functioning of artificial intelligence systems in the structure of human and social activities. The author analyses various points of view of experts regarding advantages and disadvantages of modern digital technologies in a comparative context. He writes that the existing polyphony of views on these processes is caused by ambiguity of concepts, poorly structured base of empirical observations, lack of evidence-based long-term studies, as the problem of “man and the digital world” has been formed recently. An acute nature of these contradictions dictates the author's desire to substantiate the framework conditions for the coordinated participation of various social subjects (state, public institutions, scientific community, educational institutions and institutions of educational work) in solving a new class of problems of the rapidly developing digital world. Priority areas of this work are also highlighted.
