Abstract
Aim. To analyse the impact of transhumanism on social processes and to assess the prospects and risks associated with changes in human nature under the influence of modern technologies.
Methodology. The main research method was comparative analysis. The philosophical and social concepts of transhumanism were analysed in combination with the consideration of key technologies, including bioprosthetics, cryonics and artificial intelligence, and their possible impact on society.
Results. Potential risks of increased social differentiation and the threat of loss of traditional human qualities in the context of the introduction of transhumanist technologies were identified.
Research implications. The study deepens the understanding of the philosophical and ethical dimensions of transhumanism, which contributes to the development of strategies for the social and legal regulation of technological change.
