Changes in development human capital in conditions of the large-scale military operations and growing global trends towards digitalization

Keywords: human capital, war in Ukraine, digitization of society, large-scale military operations, critical geopolitics

Abstract

The aim of the research is to explore, how human capital in Ukraine has changed due to two factors: war and increasing digitalization. It analyzes how war affects human capital, generating collective experiences of migration, death and psychological damage. It also examines how artificial intelligence (AI) has replaced humans in various productive activities, which can harm human capital for different reasons. Methodologically, critical geopolitics was employed as a theoretical framework, along with hermeneutics and maieutic. Additionally, the technique of open interviews with two defense and security experts was used. The results obtained allow us to conclude that, to take advantage of the potential of the digital era and foster the development of human talent, public policy makers must adopt a proactive and comprehensive approach to human capital management. This includes a) investing in education and technological training to prepare workers for the jobs of the future; b) promoting digital inclusion and media literacy; c) regulating the use of AI to protect individual rights and privacy, and d) fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.
