Legal barriers to the implementation of digital industry (Industry 4.0) components and ways to overcome them

Abstract

The creation and implementation of competitive digital technologies is an important task for every state striving for global political and economic leadership. Today, the issue of creating and implementing components of the digital industry (Industry 4.0), the use of which can significantly affect the development of industrial production of the state, is especially relevant. At the same time, solving this problem is extremely difficult due to the need to overcome some barriers that hinder the development of the digital industry (Industry 4.0). Among these, legal barriers pose a major problem. The purpose of the article was to identify the key legal barriers to the implementation of the components of the digital industry (Industry 4.0) and choose the best ways to overcome them. The methods that formed the basis of the study were a comparative legal analysis of the current domestic and foreign legislation, as well as scientific literature on the digital industry, its components, barriers that hinder their development and tools to overcome them, as well as a systemic method and method of legal modeling. As a result of the study, the authors identified the key legal barriers to creating and implementing components of the digital industry (Industry 4.0). To overcome them, the authors propose to use legal instruments, the complex application of which will contribute to the improvement of the current legislation in the field of digital technologies creation, the attraction of investments in their creation and implementation, as well as ensuring the digital sovereignty of the country.
