- The Internet of bodies: the future of technology
"The Internet of Bodies" is a rapidly growing field involving the integration of communication and sensor technologies into clothing, accessories, and even our bodies. Not so long ago there were bracelets for reading physical activity and pacemakers, and now a neurocomputer interface is being developed that will virtually merge humans and computers. How will the introduction of the third generation of "Internet of Bodies" devices affect us and the world around us? And does it mean that now it will be possible to "hack" not just a computer, but a human being?

Evgenia Chistova, Head of Sustainable Development, Beeline - Human resources decide everything: automation and robotization
The Russian labor market now lacks not only IT specialists - the economy needs at least 2.3 million workers at the beginning of 2024 alone. In this connection, there has recently been a lot of talk about automation and robotization of production. For example, it is possible to increase labor productivity by 15-20% in the next four to five years due to part-time workers and those whose jobs can be automated. How far away are we from the "robot invasion"? Will new technologies help employers? And will widespread automation and robotization be the salvation of the economy?

- Education in the age of AI
Generative artificial intelligence is gradually entering our reality, and it is already being used to solve not just the work tasks of programmers, but also to write diplomas and help students with various creative tasks. How much can new technologies change education? What benefits will we get from the use of AI, and what problems can generative technologies promise us? How do we monitor the use of AI in educational institutions, and do we need to? Do we need education if we have generative AI?

- Hard to be human: the digital age society
All existing technologies were created by man, and this is an indisputable fact. He is the crown and messenger of progress, no matter what sophisticated tools he comes up with that are smarter than himself. However, people themselves often forget about it, presenting certain technologies as separately functioning organisms that can be entrusted to make decisions for themselves, including in the education of the new generation. Where is the boundary of what is permissible in matters of technological progress and digital footprint in history? And how can a person not lose himself and his role in the world of high technology?
