A large number of scientific studies and publications are devoted to the digital transformation of society. The experience of the countries of the European Union indicates that thedigital transformation brought them not only positive features, but also risks. The purpose of the article is to study the risks and negative consequences of the digital transformation of society based on the experience of the EU countries. The research methodology involves the use of reports from the OECD and other organizations, through a comparative analysis of the results of digital transformation in the countries of the European Union and the identification of risks and negative consequences of their implementation. The article systematizes the main stages of e-Governance development from 1.0 to 4.0, as well as their main features. The main models proposed by various authors for implementation since 2000 and up to now have been systematized. This made it possible to systematize the main types of innovation, namely: Internal process (administrative, system, organizational) innovation; External process (governance) innovation; Policy innovation; Service (or product) innovation. The study of published scientific studies made it possible to systematize the main risks and negative consequences of the digital transformation of society, which many countries of the world faced. Among the most important of them should be mentioned: Labor redundancy in the public sector Technological bias, unfairness, and discrimination; A growing accountability gap; Threats to data privacy. It has been established that regardless of the presence of a number of positive changes (Efficiency and productivity gains, cost-savings; Effectiveness and quality improvements; Transparency, accountability, trust and legitimacy) pointed out by the majority of authors, one cannot ignore the risks and negative consequences of digital transformation of society
