Contemporary digital technologies in national modernization strategies

This is another radically new discipline, it is caused by the rapid and wide penetration of digital technologies both in our ordinary life and in state plans and visions.

Almost all modern countries associate their future and their competitiveness with 6-7 ‘end-to-end’ digital technologies: blockchain, big data, artificial intelligence, industrial internet, ‘internet of things’, quantum technologies, sensors. These technologies are considered mandatory factors for success and growth in the quality of life of citizens. The task of governments is to create a legal, cultural and institutional ‘framework’ in order to make their conscious and controlled takeover quick and irreversible. For this, governments are actively drafting their national strategies to foster sectoral or cross-sectoral development based on any promising ‘end-to-end’ technology. Ukraine has not only such ambitions, but also good prerequisites for this and its ‘success stories’.

Therefore, of course, this discipline should be mandatory for our students to study for a better understanding of the cultural, social and technological future.
