Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive historical and scientific analysis of the coevolution of information revolutions and industrial paradigms. A detailed retrospective review is conducted, covering stages from the emergence of spoken language and writing to the modern era of artificial intelligence and the prospect of transitioning from the initial stage of Industry 0.0 to the prospective framework of Industry 5.0. Special emphasis is placed on key turning points in the historical process: the analogue revolution during the Second Industrial Revolution and the digital transformation of the Third Industrial Revolution. The author analyzes the concept of the sixth information revolution, based on the application of artificial intelligence technologies, big data, and the Internet of Things, which shape Industry 4.0. The onset of the next, seventh information revolution is predicted within the Industry 5.0 scenario, resulting in the emergence of the «smart human» phenomenon, integrating advanced technological achievements and humanistic values. The final conclusion underscores the dialectical unity of technological progress and socio-cultural transformations, determining the importance of developing new ethical and legal regulators in the context of the genesis of the future smart culture.
