The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Transformation of Digital Didive

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is one of the fastest growing sets of technologies, and its impact on modern society is becoming increasingly clear. If previously artificial intelligence was used mainly in mathematical and engineering fields of science, now artificial intelligence technologies are already being used in key areas of public life, and in the future the practice of using artificial intelligence will expand. Due to the dynamic spread of artificial intelligence, its impact on the possible transformation of the digital divide becomes relevant. The authors made an attempt to analyze possible directions for the transformation of digital divide under the influence of artificial intelligence. Using the concept of three levels of digital divide, the authors come to the conclusion that artificial intelligence can have both a positive impact on leveling the digital divide (in terms of analyzing the need for the creation and predictive maintenance of information infrastructure, a personalized approach to learning and increasing motivation to use digital technologies), and negative impact (in terms of limiting access to artificial intelligence technologies and increasing the economic gap between organizations using digital technologies). The authors suggested that the widespread use of artificial intelligence technologies can create a new level of digital inequality, expressed in a new way of quantifying society and possible discrimination of human rights
