| Description | Digitalization streamlines operations in several industries, such as banking and public administration, enhances the velocity and effectiveness of transactions, and facilitates the emergence of novel modes of digital communication. The digitisation of bureaucratic processes has the potential to impact various sectors in both the public and commercial domains. Nevertheless, it remains uncertain whether the Czech Republic is transitioning efficiently and promptly towards digital technology and whether it possesses sufficient legislative adaptability to embrace these developments. This essay aims to elucidate the primary process of digitalisation in the Czech Republic and analyse the new legislation in this domain. It is imperative that the advantages of digitalisation are made available to all members of society, particularly those who are most susceptible to harm or disadvantage. In order to secure equal chances for all, it is imperative to not only prioritise the development of fundamental and advanced digital skills, but also to implement corresponding measures. The European Union must prioritise the urgent resolution of the severe scarcity of ICT professionals, particularly in the domains of cyber security, artificial intelligence, and quantum technologies. |
