Directions of Development of Information and Communication Technologies

The paper considers the economic and production essence of information and communication technologies (ICT), as well as their importance for the development of digital industrial production. The main digital technologies are Big Data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, robotics, and new technologies of virtual and augmented realities. The implementation of algorithms and software for the verification of large programs for cloud applications is among the key areas of research and development in the field of ICT. The need to create neoclusters for innovative industrial development is noted, as neoclustering is the process of organizing and operating clusters based on digital information and communication technologies.
