Digital advances, the development of new technologies and digital transformation (business models) not only describe the future but are the reality in which we already live. Slovenia’s business and living environments must be suitably managed and adapted to new challenges. Of particular importance are cyber security, digital transformation, and recently the rapid transition to new forms of teleworking (remote work), supported by information technologies and innovative digitalized business processes.
AmCham Ready 4D Future Committee
Key areas of the Committee’s work
National e-identity
The introduction of a unified national e-identity and a unified personal document (ID card, driving permit, health card, electronic certificate for accessing the state cloud and e-administration services modelled on the e-ID).
There is a broad spectrum of services and uses where electronic identification could improve and change contractual, business, and other processes, above all in citizens’ relationship to state administration. The European eIDAS regulation provides an appropriate European regulative framework and there is an increasing number of companies that offer e-ID services, along with their integration into solutions, platforms, etc. Privacy and personal control must be at the heart of the discussion and introduction of e-identities, but the entire e-ID user experience is also important. This makes it crucial to draw up rules on how such networks will be built which will ensure data privacy, service security, and the mapping of stakeholders.
Cyber security
Tracking trends, reviewing and spreading best business practices in strengthening cyber security in an increasingly digitalized economy and new forms of teleworking.
It is necessary to strive for dialogue with the government and help raise awareness of the importance of cyber security, the development of cyber security knowledge and skills (in business, national and security), and new forms of teleworking using information technology. We will propose the comprehensive formation of a more modern legislation and support an environment to introduce digitally supported forms of work, cooperation, and the remote exchange of documents.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning
The development and use of artificial intelligence (Al) and machine learning in selected business areas.
Artificial intelligence brings unprecedented possibilities for progress and revolutionizes business in many ways (e.g. autonomous vehicles, drones, automatized bots, marketing campaigns, robots at work, automatized diagnosis in healthcare), but at the same time opens up numerous dilemmas concerning transparency and sustainability (Al requires vast amounts of data, which raises questions concerning its collection, processing, and use), and ethical dilemmas (in Al decisions are made externally – including decisions with ethical implications – by programs).
The importance of the individual and mindsets for changes
A reflection on the importance of the individual, mindsets for changes, and being prepared for the new (digital) reality, which will be defined by the innovative, digitally renovated business models of the future
