Digital economy, artificial intelligence, development of electronics in the context of public administration

From an interdisciplinary standpoint, the article considers federal development strategies for the digital economy, artificial intelligence, and electronics. It shows that they all basically proceed from the concept of the fourth industrial revolution, put forward at the Davos Economic Forum. In that concept, the development of the computer reality is considered, first of all, as a tool to increase the effectiveness of social management (“hypercontrol†in the terminology of J.Attali). At the same time, the world of Russia is solving other tasks related to new industrialization and to ensuring economic growth. And that leads to the need to significantly adjust the adopted strategies. The article draws attention to a number of key matters requiring such adjustment. Future engineering technologies, based on multidisciplinary approaches and the computer modeling, allow bringing public administration in Russia to a whole new level. The necessary conditions for that are the trust between managers and scientists, as well as an overcoming the “personnel disaster†in a number of structures of the state apparatus.
