INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES OF THE FUTURE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, BLOCKCHAIN AND THE INTERNET OF THINGS

Abstract

The article analyses the impact of innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT), on modern society. The research identifies their potential for transforming business, the economy and everyday life. The main challenges of implementing these technologies are outlined, including security, legal regulation and ethical aspects. Based on system analysis, scenario modelling, and expert assessments, the article considers the potential of AI in forecasting, blockchain in ensuring data transparency, and IoT in creating global networks of devices. The synergy of these technologies is described as a key factor for building innovative economic models. The paper proposes integrated strategies for their implementation, legal regulation and measures to reduce barriers to access to innovation. The contemporary world is experiencing a period of substantial transformation, driven by the advancement of innovative technologies. Notable examples of such technologies include artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies are becoming instrumental not only in enhancing efficiency but also in precipitating fundamental changes across a wide range of domains, including the economy, business, and even everyday life. The consequences of these technologies extend to various domains, including process automation, optimised data management, and the integration of devices into global networks. Concurrently, the swift implementation of these technologies is accompanied by a plethora of challenges, including information security, ethical concerns and the necessity for legal regulation. The research presented in this article aims to analyse how innovative technologies can not only contribute to solving current problems but also create new opportunities for sustainable development. The study places particular emphasis on the concept of synergy, which is identified as a key factor in the development of novel economic and social models. The study is grounded in a systematic and comparative analysis of contemporary scientific works, the modelling of possible technology development scenarios, and the utilisation of expert assessments. The study employs a combination of inductive and deductive approaches to summarise existing data and draw conclusions about the impact of AI, blockchain and IoT. The article under scrutiny reveals the potential of artificial intelligence to automate routine tasks, analyse large amounts of data and make predictions, which can significantly improve business and management efficiency. The article identifies blockchain as a technology that ensures transparency, reliability and security of data, in particular in the financial and logistics sectors. The Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates the integration of physical objects into a single digital infrastructure, thereby creating new opportunities for monitoring and management. The integration of these technologies creates new models of economic development that are focused on increasing competitiveness and sustainability. The paper proposes the development of integrated strategies for the implementation of AI, blockchain and IoT to ensure their maximum efficiency. The article under discussion emphasises the necessity for legal regulation of innovations with a view to establishing conditions for their safe utilisation. It is further emphasised that measures should be implemented to reduce barriers to access to technology, in particular through educational initiatives and the popularisation of knowledge among the general public.
