How can artificial intelligence affect the competitiveness of Slovakia in the future?
Artificial intelligence is referred to as the technology of the future. We see that it is already being applied in some areas today. It changes traditional practices, creates new business models and motivates companies to work with data. Companies that can take advantage of the power of data and the added value of artificial intelligence have a great chance of becoming the market leader in their area. Artificial intelligence will fundamentally affect all aspects of our lives and will be one of the most important drivers of economic growth and the competitiveness of countries. We must already prepare for the irreversible process of change that new technologies bring and use them for the benefit of our country and its citizens.
