Abstract

Objective of the study is: to analyze the prospects and risks of developing professional subjectivity in the context of the digital transformation of society. The methodological basis of the research is the concept of post-industrial society (W. Bell, M. Castells), the theory of digital transformation of society (E. Schmidt, J. Cohen), the provisions of the concept of the digital economy.   Research results. The new digital reality is fundamentally changing the organization of the financial, trade and production sectors of the economy, influencing the transformation of the professional subjectivity of a modern person. Digitalization of the economy, like any phenomenon, is ambivalent: on the one hand, digital technologies open up enormous opportunities for optimizing many economic processes; on the other hand, the introduction of artificial intelligence into the management of the economic sphere leads to the fact that humans are excluded from the decision-making process.     The prospects of the study. The problem of professional subjectivity in the context of digitalization of the economy is of scientific and practical interest in connection with the need to understand the further transformation of professional activity and new requirements for the professional competence of an individual.
