Social engineering & intercultural communications in the digital

This is one more principally new discipline for our institute, University, and even for Eastern Europe. Its potential impact on shaping a modern manager is difficult to exaggerate now. The discipline is mandatory for all our students to learn.

The discipline is dedicated to study of how modern digital technologies and products change and deform the usual culture of human communication, influence search and critical thinking, change values, change truth to ‘post-truth’ & fakes, and most importantly – replace the main thing with something secondary & insignificant. This is how social engineering technologies work, but today they have become much more influential, aggressive & widespread.

Of particular importance are the newest technologies of neural networks, in particular, the revolutionary ChatGPT, which brings potentially critical changes to ordinary business and social relations, thereby acting as a powerful means of social engineering and, as a result, a completely new social structuring of humanity in the 21st century. Instead, a modern leader & public person should understand this, as well as the fact that ordinary personal human communication & human empathy will once again become an exceptional and valuable asset.

Practical classes will be filled with discussion of numerous cases from different countries & preparation of recommendations for politicians at different levels.

Volume of study load: 5 ECTS credits.
