Abstract. The article examines the influence of digital technologies on the living conditions of people, the way of collective behaviour, the forms of social and educational relations. The focus of attention is placed on multiple manifestations of digital transformation, affecting the deep foundations of the institutional nature of society, its intra-institutional and inter-institutional mechanisms, and determining the accelerating speed of socio-cultural changes. Digitalization is understood as a dominant trend in the development of the social system at the modern stage, which not only characterizes its dynamics, but also leads to the emergence of a new mode of human historical existence – a digital society. Additionally, the ambiguity of the emerging changes is analyzed, highlighting both the positive aspects associated with the progressive transformation of social practice and the entire systemic set of economic, educational and other social relations, as well as the negative features reflecting the destructive influence of digitalization on the social reality. By applying structural-genetic analysis, accompanied by the procedures of analogy, generalization and synthesis, a detailed inventory of the leading conceptual ideas has been carried out, which allows for the disclosure of the contradictory vectors of the functioning and development of digital technologies with an emphasis on developing clear ethical guidelines for their use.
