Abstract: Abstract During the last three decades, digitalization has gradually but unstoppable became an indispensable factor and major force in the educational environment. This new paradigm fundamentally reshaped the way how knowledge is presented, acquired, disseminated, and assessed. Its importance stems from the possibilities of the digital world to overcome many of the limitations of traditional approaches of the analogue world and in the case of education - to prepare individuals for the ever progressing and enhancing new world, that is overwhelmingly digital at present. At the same time the Digital transformation (DT) brings a few risks. Many are related to human factors that can either hinder the successful implementation of digitalization and quality of education or lead to unintended negative consequences. The present paper looks at the human-related risks of digitalization, presents a description of each risk, categorizes them and presents examples. At the end, there is a short discussion and recommendations on the topics.
