The multidimensional problem of identifying, assessing, and minimizing threats and risks of the development and application of new technologies within the framework of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, whose core element is information technology, are discussed. All technologies and types of modern technology have both positive and negative consequences for society and carry technological, environmental, economic, and social risks. To a large extent, fundamental information uncertainty, which creates risks, is associated with the processes of forming a new technological order. Based on a systematic approach using the methods of scientometric and multidimensional analysis of data a number of new technological directions are analysed that potentially create the most dangerous risks to the economy and society, which are often not understood even in the professional community. This article contains some conclusions, recommendations, priorities, and the most pressing tasks for developing the interdisciplinary problem of the risks of the development of the digital economy.
