Information technologies humanitarian expertise in the context of humanities knowledge and cognition

The use of information technology has long remained the prerogative of the natural sciences. They began to be used in the humanities at the beginning of the 20th century, giving rise to a number of non-trivial problems. One of them is related to the question of how justified is the use of new information technologies in humanities knowledge, where work is traditionally based around reading and comprehending texts. The need to understand the risks of introducing digital technologies into the humanities determines the relevance of the proposed study, the aim of which is to substantiate the role of humanitarian expertise as an independent assessment of the feasibility of applying technical innovations in humanities knowledge and cognition. It is shown that the humanitarian expertise of information technologies in humanities knowledge and cognition is a new and unexplored area of modern science. At the same time, understanding this phenomenon makes it possible to identify the risks and possible negative consequences of using technical innovations in humanitarian education and science.
