DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION: ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT AND FIGHTING AGAINST ILLEGAL PRACTICES

Анотація

This study examines the digital transformation of national economies, focusing on key directions, challenges, and prospects, as well as the associated risks of corruption, shadow operations, and cybersecurity threats. Digital transformation is reshaping production, services, and governance by integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, IoT, and cloud computing. These innovations drive efficiency and foster sustainable development yet introduce challenges like unequal access to technology, job displacement, and heightened vulnerabilities to cyber threats. The study highlights the risks linked to corruption and shadow economies that emerge from digitalisation. Misuse of digital platforms, manipulation of algorithms, and lack of transparency in electronic systems facilitate new forms of financial crime and inefficiencies. However, technologies such as blockchain, open data, and automated systems offer solutions for enhancing transparency, automating governance, and reducing human interference. The analysis also delves into the specific risks of digital transformation during wartime, as seen in Ukraine. Issues such as cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, destruction of communication systems, and limited access to resources are compounded by the challenges of maintaining digital governance and economic stability. The study proposes strategies to address these challenges, including decentralised infrastructures, robust cybersecurity measures, and international collaboration. Digital transformation presents both risks and opportunities, demanding a balanced approach to maximise socio-economic benefits while mitigating potential threats.
