RISKS AND THREATS OF NBIC CONVERGENCE: PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
NBIC convergence has been the main trend of modern technological development in the last decade. Realizing the potential of NBIC convergence contains great opportunities of various types, both technological, economic and social, but at the same time carries NBIC risks. The authors highlighted the positive dynamics of increasing indicators of elements of the socio-economic system, and revealed the main reasons for this trend. The characteristics of NBIC risks are presented and their components are highlighted. The article shows risks and threats at various levels, with a special focus on the impact of NBIC convergence factors on production systems. The authors note that the key factors affecting production systems in the conditions of NBIC convergence are the factor of globalization, institutional, financial, personnel, customer orientation, innovation, structural, etc. It is proved that the identified risks and threats in the development of NBIC-convergence of production systems require the creation of new tools, both the functioning of existing systems, and changes in the design when creating new ones.
