Digital Technologies as a Process of Strategic Maneuvering in Economic Development

This paper presents ideas and practical proposals are presented on more efficient use of digital technologies in the interests of strategic maneuvering in the business activity of the economy, aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the transition to a new digital structure, we found that for effective strategic maneuvering in the business activity of the economy and overcoming its today’s turbulent state, it is required: first, the large-scale use of digital technologies as a component of modern integration processes in the international scientific space in order to minimize the problems and strengthening the economic potential of the country;secondly, the use of digital technologies as the “nuclei” of the interaction of science, business and governments, which contributes to the growth of a new strategic management system based on improving the scenario tools for forecasting, allowing to identify trends and incentives for the development of cluster zones in the regional development of the economy;third, the accelerated use of digital technologies caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as a result of the consistent implementation of a coordinated strategy for the development of the Russian economy based on global cooperation in all fields of activity;fourth, to introduce “digital style” in strategic public administration, which includes specific measures to develop digital technologies, especially artificial intelligence technologies, in order to determine, identify and eliminate barriers, stimulate public and private participation in the introduction of digital technologies, as well as schedule a program to mitigate negative or unintentional consequences on the development of digital technologies, which will make it easier and focus on the country’s current efforts, making the way to the digital future in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Artificial Intelligence Technology as an Economic Accelerator of Business Process

The article covers a range of problems related to the need to use artificial intelligence (AI) technology, on the one hand, as an economic accelerator of business processes in conditions of high competition in the global market, and as conditions for the growth of the economy as a whole. The main purpose of the article is to prove the feasibility of developing a conceptual framework that reveals the value of AI technology in areas such as probabilistic thinking, machine learning and computer vision to help managers better understand how promising achievements can be achieved that can eliminate some limitations in business growth and create a new wave of opportunities in the socio-economic development of the country. The results of the study confirmed that AI technology: firstly, helps to create an innovative product, better serve customers, allocate employees to solve more creative tasks, reduce costs and get high results;secondly, it gives a clear incentive to its developers, companies, politicians and users to solve the socio-economic problems facing them;thirdly, removes restrictions in obtaining massive datasets based on global cooperation in the field of digital transformation. An assessment of the possibility of using the experience of AI technology development in advanced countries has been proposed and a number of measures have been developed to adapt the development of foreign AI technology to meet the requirements of the national program of the digital economy of Russia in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
