The article is devoted to the analysis of the development of society in the humanitarian and technological spheres at the turn of the century. The analysis of the influence of the development of various technologies on the life of the human society is carried out. In the course of a new stage of the modern scientific and technical revolution, the post-industrial society has entered the period of all-encompassing and global information automation and machine computerization before our eyes. Revolutionary technologies lead to the replacement of heavy monotonous physical labor of people with new machine complexes with elements of artificial intelligence. Humanity is entering a contradictory stage of its development, technologies are improving, science is developing, and at the same time socio-economic and environmental problems are aggravated. The digital society exists as a given.

A transition from the industrial to the post-industrial phase of the development of civilization takes place currently. In the traditional phase of development (until the twentieth century), the researchers and thinkers focus was on the nature study. In the industrial times (XX century) - the machines world was comprehended and developed. The most important result of this period was the creation of computers. Now the world is entering to the post-industrial phase, where the focus is on the person. This is changing applied mathematics, computer reality. There is a bifurcation in which a significant part of applied mathematics is becoming an industry. A number of promising innovative projects draw attention in this context. There is a transition from "continuous" to "discrete" mathematics, largely associated with the development of cryptography. Another feature of the moment is the neural network revolution in machine learning, which gave a new powerful impetus to the artificial intelligence (AI) development progress. It led to the widespread use of devices and systems that solve "intelligent" problems at the human level and above. The possibilities for solving very complex problems are limited by means that contradict the established views that thinking and reason are based on the soul, which has limitless possibilities. The strong AI (general AI, AGI) creating problem is not in building devices with magical capabilities, but in creating limited systems that can learn to solve many of the problems available. An important AGI property should be cooperation with people, taking into account civilizational norms. This property has not only a technical side, it depends on social relations. Sustainable development requires an agency approach to AGI. Modern applied mathematics has faced fundamental difficulties in complex problems. Multiple increases in the performance of computing systems did not lead to breakthrough results. As new paradigms, "analog" computing systems working with the use of new principles are neural networks and quantum computers. It is shown that these approaches, at best, can help to solve the "past tasks", and not the "future tasks" associated with the post-industrial phase of the development of civilization. The domestic applied mathematics efforts should be used to solve the central problems of the post-industrial society development in Russia using interdisciplinary approaches. This can make it possible to return to the number of countries with advanced technologies in the most important modern production areas. The alternative directions of the science development related to the human capabilities expansion are considered. The key one is related to AI, which can change reality. The article pays special attention to alternative approaches to AI development.

The article examines the topic of determinants affecting the features of the practical implementation of ideas in the context of a digital society. The features of the digital model of society as a version of the post-industrial society are presented. The urgency of rethinking the problem as a determinant of social development has been substantiated. The essential features of the main trends of the digital society are analyzed and identified, which include the traditional interpretation of the inevitably distorted embodiment of ideas in social phenomena. Demonstrated are the changes represented by the identity of individuals and brought to the coalescence and the virtual level of being. The inevitability of taking into account the systemic effect of implemented ideas, which affects not only the sphere of their direct implementation, is noted. Theatricalization of digital society in the spheres of public life is highlighted. The problem of simulacra is actualized, allowing powerful actors to distort the original meaning of ideas in their own interests. The emphasis is made on the importance of linguistic analysis for adequate perception and understanding of the content of ideas. In conclusion, generalizations that form the theoretical and methodological basis of practical applications in the society of the digital world.

Each stage of the economic development of any society is associated with the consumption of natural resources. Thus, the impact of human society on the environment determines the environmental conditionality of the economy. The problem of economy – the maximum satisfaction of needs – becomes the central problem of ecology, as the development of civilization has caused a large volume of resources’ consumption. National economies can be at one of the following development stages: traditional, industrial, post-industrial society. Each stage is characterized by a certain state, the structure of economy, the type and amount of used resources, the attitude to the natural environment and, accordingly, the type of ecological and economic development. In an industrial society, the environmental conditioning of the economy is associated with the use and minimization of resource consumption in order to increase the economic efficiency, but not with understanding that the resources are exhaustible and non-renewable. Therefore, when moving to the postindustrial stage of development, it is important to understand its connection with sustainable development, which consists in synchronizing the innovative development of the productive forces of industry and the "green" nature-saving technologies.

The article explores the idea of social progress in the context of the history of human society. The author considers the concept of progress in interrelation with the three revolutions. The first revolution was an agrarian one, which established the dominant religious consciousness and dependence on the divine intervention. Accordingly, the idea of progress as opposed to the perfection of God was not dominant. The world of nature is born, develops, and dies. This approach prevailed for about seven thousand years: from the first civilizations to the XV - XVIII centuries. According to the Judeo-Christian tradition, after the fall, the world fell away from God. This understanding corresponds to the primordial approach and is also opposite to the idea of progress. In the Renaissance, the secularization of consciousness and culture begins. Culture and values are formed on the basis of religious Judeo-Christian values, but a man becomes the bearer and guarantor of these values. The ideas of humanism and worshipping of a human being as the main creator are reflected in philosophy, art, and painting. In accordance with this approach, the idea of progress is born. The idea of progress is fully formed and takes possession of the masses in the age of Enlightenment. During this period, the industrial revolution is taking place. In European culture, the primacy of rationality, machine labor and equality is asserted. But at the same time, the industrial revolution entailed many social crises that are still relevant today. The United States and Europe were gradually able to overcome the challenges of the industrial revolution and create a system of “capitalism with a human face”, while partially imposing their system on other countries where production is cheaper. Therefore, the problems of the so-called “wild capitalism” still take place in the third world countries. By the middle of the XX century, science became the leading factor in manufacturing. Society is changing from industrial to post-industrial. The article focuses on the problems and opportunities of the modern post-industrial society with all the accumulated baggage of the previous stages of development. Humanity has achieved great technological success, and the scientific and technological revolution has brought material benefits to society. But at the same time, the consumer society creates many problems. What is progress in the context of modern discourse? The answer to this question is the purpose of this article.

Accompanying the global spread of the post-industrial society (Bell, 1973) are nations who see economic opportunity deriving from the development of an information economy to support it (Porat, 1977). But while advanced industrialized nations moved gradually from industrial to post-industrial work over a period of decades, newly industrializing countries are “leapfrogging” directly from agrarian to information-intensive work in a matter of years. Given this rapid labor force transformation, a critical consideration in the development of a global information sector is the development and management of information technology (IT) workers.

Abstract Paradigmatic changes in education arise as a result of the emergence of a fundamentally new reality in society. Society has predicted this new reality through the concepts of post-industrial society, information society, knowledge society. The basis of this new reality is the development of information technologies (IT). These transformations of reality are taking place so rapidly that the institute of education has not had the time to realign itself in this new space and has been late in its development of new breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence. The purpose of the study is to show the fundamental paradigmatic differences between classical education and smart education, and to build a bridge of dialogue between these two paradigms.

Modernisasi membawa efek digital masuk ke dalam varian aktivitas sosial-budaya dan ekonomi-politik masyarakat. Namun, tiadanya pemerataan akses terhadap penggunaan teknologi, berdampak pada keterasingan dan marginalisasi. Konsep tersebut cenderung dilihat sebagai kesenjangan antara yang memiliki akses terhadap teknologi (the haves) dan kelompok yang tidak memiliki akses terhadap teknologi (the have-nots). Di dalam masyarakat pasca-industri hari ini, segala sesuatu telah digitalisasi. Tidak hanya pada aspek kebijakan dan bisnis, bahkan kebijaksanaan filantropi berupa platform-platform sosial telah massif berkembang di era-digital. Misalnya, pengentasan permasalahan kesehatan, ekonomi, kemanusiaan dan lingkungan yang, sejauh ini, mendapatkan donor (donation) dari masyarakat digital melalui platform KitaBisa.com. Hal tersebut dilakukan dalam rangka memperbaiki dignitas kehidupan manusia dan kelestarian lingkungan. Namun, akibat kesenjangan digital di dalam masyarakat yang tidak dapat mengakses agenda filatropi secara online, membuat kelompok yang tidak memiliki kapital digital tereksklusi dari kebijakan virtual.   Modernization brings digital effects into a variant of socio-cultural and political activities of society. However, the lack of access to the use of technology, is associated with alienation and marginalization. The concept tends to be viewed as a gap between those who have access to technology (the haves) and groups who have no access to technology (the have-nots). In today’s post-industrial society, everything has been digitalized. Not only on policy and business aspects, even philanthropic policies of social platforms have developed massif in digital era. For example, a reduction in health, economic, humanitarian and environmental problems, so far, have been obtained donors from digital societies through KitaBisa.com platforms. This is done in an effort to improve dignities of human life and the sustainability of the environment. However, as a result of digital gaps in societies which make them cannot access the filatropic of an online agenda, groups that do not have digital capital are excommunicated from virtual policy.

The article presents a comparative study of the classical views of management in the conditions of intensification of the processes of digitalization and construction of the "digital" model of the world. The conclusion is made about a radical change of the management paradigm and depersonalization of highly effective processes of management of various focus groups by formalized algorithmized commands of artificial intelligence. In the conditions of intensification of the processes of digitalization and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the daily life of consumers of services and different groups of users, the problems of interactions between the control and managed subsystems are of priority importance, since they directly actually affect not only all behavioral characteristics of the individual in the digital economic way, but also in the existing social way. The resonant statement of our President at the St. Petersburg forum that the leader in the development of AI can become the ruler of the world testifies to the special importance of the problem of governance in the context of the development of post-industrial society and the formation of the information environment of the digital society.

A project for the long-term strategy of Russian break-through into post-industrial society is suggested which is directed at transformation of the hi-tech complex into the leading factor of economic development. The thesis is substantiated that there is an opportunity to realize such a strategy in case Russia shifts towards the mechanism of the monetary base growth generally accepted in developed countries: the Central Bank increases the quantity of "strong" money by means of purchasing state securities and allocates the increment of money in question according to budget priorities. At the same time for the realization of the said strategy it is necessary to partially restore savings lost during the hyperinflation period of 1992-1994 and default of 1998 and to secure development of the bank system as well as an increase of the volume of long-term credits on this base.
