NOTAS: | This study was carried out for the European Commission by McKinsey & Company "The digital transformation of Europe’s economies and societies is accelerating. It is entering a next phase, fuelled by a fusion of technologies that gradually blur the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres and push the frontier of what computers are capable of doing. These new technologies – and the new business models they create, building on the use of data – are progressively coming to maturity for at-scale deployment, and will increasingly impact all sectors of the economy. In section 2 of this report, we discuss a set of such high-impact technologies and applications, for example, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, advanced robotics, virtual and augmented reality, and their potential impact on Europe’s economy, the labour market, and wider society." |
