Webinar: The Future of Information Technologies
Information technologies have been driving major changes in almost every sphere of life for decades. The development of these technologies is constantly accelerating and innovations are catching up with each other faster than ever before. The slowdown of Moore's law has not yet had a particularly negative impact on the further development of traditional general and special-purpose processors, or classical computing. We are witnessing the breakneck dynamics of the development of artificial intelligence, which has the potential to change the way we work and live. Quantum computers are no longer just theoretical considerations, but concrete computer systems that we can already try out.
What this means for IT professionals and business leaders, and how to prepare for a time when these IT development directions are even converging, is the topic of the lecture: "The Future of Information Technologies".
