Digital Technologies
Digital technologies, including artificial intelligence which is the subject of a specific strategic focus area, are at the heart of major societal and economic issues.
Economic players need to adapt and anticipate these changes as well as their impacts on production and consumption patterns.
At the same time, jobs and skills are being transformed: it is thought that 85% of jobs in 2030 do not exist yet, while many others will simply disappear.
Standardization can provide answers to many issues related to digitization: interoperability, deploying the Internet of Connected Objects (IoT), blockchain technology and its applications, big data, working conditions, cybersecurity and personal data protection, support for new European regulations (GDPR, Payments services directive), degraded modes of operation, the environmental impact of digital technology, etc.
OBJECTIVES
LEAD
