Digital consciousness and identity

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation the world is experiencing unprecedented changes due to the rapid development of fields such as algorithms and big data, artificial intelligence, international telecommunications, and cyberizations. Understanding the impact of digital technologies on our thinking and self-identification is the key to creating more ethical and sustainable technological solutions, as well as adapting social and cultural institutions to the evolving world. Digital technologies play a significant role in shaping contemporary notions of self and others, creating new forms of identity and opportunities for self-expression. Ethical frameworks are needed to regulate the development and use of technologies that impact consciousness and identity, to protect the rights and well-being of individuals. These findings could not only contribute to academic understanding of the relationship between digital consciousness and identity but also offer practical recommendations for technology developers, policymakers, and society to adapt to the rapidly changing digital landscape.
