Urgency of the research is dictated by the accelerating integration of smart technologies into human life, raising essential philosophical and ethical concerns. As digitalization reshapes personal autonomy, environmental sustainability, and social structures, a critical examination of its implications is necessary.
Target setting. “Smart” technologies are transforming human experience, particularly in terms of autonomy, environmental sustainability, perception, and social justice. Integrating existential, ecological, phenomenological, and ethical frameworks, it calls for philosophical analysis, offering a deeper understanding of the transformative impact of digital innovations on modern society.
Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. demonstrates the growing academic focus on digital transformation. Aram, Baxter, and Nutkevitch highlight the role of adaptation and innovation in technological evolution. Voronkova et al. examine the transition from 4G to 5G in the context of digital globalization. Nambisan, Zahra, and Luo (2019) explore global technological platforms and their influence on business ecosystems. Additionally, works by Anderson, Barabási, Diamandis & Kotler, Brynjolfsson & McAfee, and Russell address technological advancements and their socio-economic effects, reinforcing the need for an ethical and philosophical framework in technology adoption.
The research objective is to assess how smart technologies redefine human experiences, particularly in terms of autonomy, environmental impact, perception, and social justice. By applying existentialist, environmental, phenomenological, and ethical perspectives, the study provides a structured philosophical discourse on the topic.
The statement of basic materials includes an exploration of existentialist concerns related to personal expression and autonomy, environmental philosophical discussions on sustainability challenges, phenomenological insights into changes in perception and human interaction, and ethical debates regarding equitable access to smart technologies. The study also incorporates insights from European directives on ethical technology use.
Conclusions. The article emphasizes the necessity of ethical discourse in the development and deployment of smart technologies. It advocates for a balanced approach that aligns technological advancements with fundamental human values, contributing to a more equitable and sustainable society.
