We present an analysis of reports, round table discussions, ap-proaches presented at the V International Conference “Designing the Future and Horizons of Digital Reality”. The focus of the conference participants was the analysis of the results, risks and prospects for the development of the com-puter reality of the world and the Belarus-Russia Union State from the position of an interdisciplinary synthesis of knowledge at the intersection of philosophy, mathematics, computer science, sociology and a number of other disciplines. At one time, the Nobel Prize laureate academician Zh.I. Alferov said that it is in Russia and Belarus that the potential in the field of information and tele-communication (IT) technologies is greatest among the post-Soviet countries. And it is these technologies that should become the basis of our scientific and technical breakthrough. This foresight is the leitmotif of this conference. In one of his speeches, the President of the Russian Federation said that those who have mastered artificial intelligence will become the rulers of the world, and that it is very important that they do not turn out to be separate groups of people or countries. Artificial intelligence has become one of the central topics and the subject of lively discussions at the conference. One reality ends and another begins. Its risks, threats and opportunities were the most important and interesting elements in the approaches put forward in this forum.
