Abstract

This document presents an appeal to the scientific community regarding the urgent need to establish a new integrative scientific discipline — the Anthropology of the Digital Era. The rapid development of artificial intelligence and digital technologies has ceased to be merely a matter of tools; it has become an environment that fundamentally transforms human cognition, emotional life, social connections, identity, and even physiology. Phenomena such as AI-induced psychosis, total dependence on chatbots, the instrumentalization of the individual, and the crisis of authenticity cannot be adequately studied within the fragmented framework of existing disciplines (psychology, neuroscience, sociology, philosophy, pedagogy, economics, cybersecurity). While interdisciplinary collaboration is valuable, it is insufficient for creating a systematic understanding of the human being in the digital age. This appeal outlines the limitations of current approaches, argues for the necessity of a unified science, and proposes its foundational subject, principles, and potential methodological framework. It invites specialists from all related fields to participate in forming a new community and developing this crucial area of knowledge. This is the initial version of the appeal. We welcome feedback and collaboration inquiries.
