Socio-philosophical aspects of anthropological transformation in the global information space

The study aims to determine the impact that the virtual environment of the global information space has on the processes of anthropological transformation. The article analyzes the realities of information modernity, the defining role of information and communication technologies in changing the face of the existing socio-cultural reality, the ways of interpersonal interaction, and the human being itself. It is shown that the convergence of advanced information and communication technologies has led to the formation of a global information space as an alternative intangible environment for human life, currently encompassing various forms of social activity – work, communication, leisure, socialization, self-identification, etc. Virtualization and digitalization of life, hybridization of reality, the dominance of virtual forms of communication, interaction with artificial intelligence systems have a transformative effect on humans. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the socio-philosophical justification of the conclusion that the result of human adaptation to the virtual environment of the global information space is a modification of fundamental anthropological attributes, which is manifested in the addition of an artificial digital component to the natural biopsychosocial one. In the course of the study, it was established that the process of socio-anthropotechnical evolution is currently, for the most part, information-technologically determined, as a result of which the formation of a new type of human being is observed, specially adapted to life in an ambivalent hybrid reality thanks to extended anthropological attributes – digital identity, modified corporeality, transformed subjectivity.
