Summary
Globalization and internationalization of world economic relations has exerted strong pressure on all aspects of the activities of economic entities around the world. On the threshold of the 21st century, new challenges have been added, including issues such as digital sovereignty and digital vulnerability, carbon neutrality and cybercrime, and many others In response to these new challenges, the structure of the UN system for sustainable development for the period up to 2030 (Agenda 2030), adopted in 2015 by 193 UN member states, has defined the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the world community at the present stage. Artificial intelligence, the internet of things, augmented reality, blockchain and many other names for digital technologies have burst into our analogue reality and painlessly implanted in the economic, and in everyday vocabulary Some of these technologies look pretentiously futuristic and there is a huge skepticism about their implementation, others, on the contrary, took root in our vocabulary, but we can already say with confidence, become reliable assistants in solving everyday, routine, yet difficult tasks.
