Abstract

The subject of the study is information ethics as a necessary condition and the driving force of social transformation in the transition to a digital economy. The aim of the work is to find ways to solve this problem by affirming ethical norms and principles in the information space. The article shows the need for theoretical development of ethical foundations in the field of information technology. Some features of human behavior in the information environment with emphasis on the negative consequences of avoiding user responsibility or knowingly criminal activities in the network space have been examined: network piracy, hacking, launching virus programs, involvement in game addiction, collecting all kinds of confidential information without notifying users. The necessity of design work on the implementation of information ethics in a number of areas is shown: theoretical and practical development of ethical principles and standards of behavior in the information space; monitoring compliance with established ethical provisions; reorientation of the labor market to the creation of socially useful information products. There is also the use of the latest psychotechnologies as an example of neuromarketing for effective modeling of human behavior in given conditions; orientation of the education system on the formation of environmental thinking, training and the content of education based on the foundation of information ethics. Besides, there is the need to predict the consequences of robotization, to preserve the enduring value of man and nature; prioritization of living and artificial. The proposed methods for approving the basics of information ethics will prepare the society for the necessary changes and carry out safely and effectively any activity in the information space.
