ICT for a Smart and Green Present and Future
We live in a challenging time when another generic
technological achievement, machine intelligence, is being created on Earth.
This is a historic time, as a new ecosystem is emerging that will act as an
amplifier and complement to existing intelligence on Earth. The main
technological enabler of these changes is ICT with the great support of
advanced computing with all its additional environments. Intelligent (smart)
innovative products and services are emerging, usually globalised, leading to
significant changes in all areas of life. Never before has humanity faced such
a challenge, a perspective, but also a threat that requires a very broad and
deep engagement of experts in observing and managing pragmatic developmental
changes. Therefore, the EC initiates the process of creating regulations for
artificial intelligence to protect some civilisational achievements and good
practices. In its programme, MIPRO also points to the fact that ICT technology
plays an important role in shaping society and contemporary life. The EU and
Croatia are at the stage of important strategic determinants defined in the
“Smart and Green Strategy”. The introduction and application of new
technologies plays an important role in the implementation of the
Reconstruction and Recovery Programme. The creation of a new economy and
prosperity in the market is only possible through rapid and quality adaptations
to new paradigms and platforms. Today, more and more countries are turning to
new economic models that preserve the environment and sustainability. There is
a need for a transition to a smart economy through advanced management of
resources and processes using artificial intelligence and advanced economic
models that favour environmental protection, support innovative and optimised solutions
and implement more effective policies for resource management and society as a
whole. These activities rely heavily on ICT technology and represent the
pursuit of smart and green transformation. Therefore, the motto of this year’s
meeting is: ICT for a Smart and Green Present and Future in the light of
today’s needs and tomorrow’s sustainability. I wish everyone much success and
satisfaction at the 46th MIPRO 2023 Convention!
