Abstract

The dynamic development of the modern global economy is determined by its close relationship with trends in modern technology, the state of the natural and social environment, the level of development of science. Given this circumstance, business representatives, national governments, the scientific community, the public are constantly looking for ways to integrate scientific and technological progress, innovation, areas of intellectual activity and social issues in a single cluster. Since the studied problem is a relatively new interdisciplinary field of knowledge, hence its insufficient coverage in the domestic economic literature. The lack of tradition of interdisciplinary research, especially in technical, natural, philosophical and economic sciences, is a deterrent to attracting a wide range of domestic economists to the study relationship between the convergence of NBICS technologies and the development of the global economy. However, this problem has received some attention from foreign researchers. Given this, the chosen topic of the article has theoretical, scientific and applied and ideological significance. In the process of realization of the formulated goal of the research the essence, content of convergence of NBICS technologies as a complex multidimensional process is determined and the problems of global economy development in the context of technology convergence are characterized. The scientific novelty of the study is to substantiate, based on a critical analysis of scientific publications of foreign and domestic scientists, trends in technology convergence, highlights differences in American and European approaches to interpreting the role and importance of convergence of nano-, bio-, info-, cogno- and social technologies, of disclosing their interdisciplinary nature and identifying problems of global economic development that are the result of the deployment of convergence of these technologies, which are a consequence of the deployment of convergence of these technologies. A generalization is made about the inadmissibility of the dominance of the technocratic approach to the interpretation of the essence of the convergence of NBICS technologies; of necessity to understand the cyclical nature of the convergence of NBICS technologies as a process that occurs as a result of their integration and under the influence of synergies and divergence; of developing the necessary of an appropriate scientific apparatus to describe trends in this process. The priority directions of further scientific research on this problem are outlined.
