The role of digitalization in the formation of human capital

The main purpose of this article is to reveal the impact of digital technologies on the formation and development of human capital, to clarify some of the provisions of its General theory and to make appropriate critical comments. The article is based on the study of literary sources presented in the open press and on specialized websites of the Internet. As a result of the research, it was shown that the impact of digitalization on the company's employees can be direct and indirect. The first has a direct impact on its physical or mental state, which is otherwise impossible to implement; the second-creates conditions that facilitate the formation and development of human capital and has an infrastructure character. The article suggests that the active introduction of digital technologies may lead to the emergence of «digital capital» based on artificial intelligence and its replacement in a relatively limited scale of human capital.
