Transformation of the economic system under the influence of industry 4.0 technologies

Economic development is inextricably linked to the introduction of new technologies that improve production processes, resource management, and economic activity organization. However, the scale and nature of this impact vary significantly depending on the industry, region, and level of technological integration in production, leading to ambiguous consequences for the economy. Given this, the study of mechanisms through which new technologies affect production processes and the identification of patterns of economic system transformation under technological progress conditions is becoming increasingly relevant. In the modern context, it is essential to determine the economic consequences of the widespread adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and 3D printing. Will these technologies lead to structural shifts in the economic system, or will their impact be limited to improving the efficiency of specific production processes? The answers to these questions will help assess the feasibility and prioritization of stimulating the development of Industry 4.0 technologies.
