The speaker noted that the ongoing digitalization would significantly change the education system around the world, including Russia, translating it mainly into distance learning. The landscape of the labor market will change dramatically, the service sector will expand exponentially. The main risks of the future digital society were identified: the vulnerability of the parties due to the weak regulation of the regulatory framework of services based on digital technologies, the problem of protection of biometric and personal data of students and consumers, the growth of psychological disorders due to the replacement of traditional, "live" forms of communication.
