Degtyarev Plant’s IT department, will talk about one of the possible reasons in his series of publications.

Organisations need to adapt to a new generation of employees, accelerate capability building, make AI literacy part of everyday readiness, and use AI to reduce repetitive work without losing control of delivery.
