World digital industrial trends

Abstract

The main promising trends in the digitalization of the global industry need indepth scientific understanding not only from a technical standpoint, but also from a humanitarian, especially economic, point of view. The proposed material touches upon some topical problematic aspects of the process of formation of a new technological order. Today's economic reality is influenced by many factors. First of all, geopolitical. They significantly slow down the digitalization of the industry. In addition, the mass vision of the future digital economy is shrouded in a variety of myths. Some of them present the IT production of the future as the desired economic ideal. Others are inclined to long-term pessimism, based on the fact that qualitative economic transformations can lead to catastrophic consequences, especially for the labor market. Today, there are more questions than answers. There is a scientific search for optimal ways of practical implementation of the emerging economic trends. It is important that there can be no alternative to the digitalization of the economy. The future of the global economy is the full introduction of digital technologies, especially in the industrial sectors that determine progress.
