International delegates spoke at the scientific workshop

Industrial revolution has had a great impact on all subjects, sectors and fields in all aspects. The first industrial revolution used water and steam to mechanize production; The second revolution took place through the application of electricity to mass production; The third revolution used electronics and information technology to automate production. Today, the world is in the process of the 4th Industrial Revolution and is enjoying the early achievements of this revolution. It is an universal Internet, self-driving devices, three-dimensional printing technology (3D printing), information storage is not limited; Multi-modal global connection...

In terms of nature, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is a digital revolution, through technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), social networking, cloud computing, mobile, large data analysis (SMAC)... to transform the whole real world into digital world.

In this trend, the fields of politics, security and many other areas are also affected strongly. Many new and complex issues are posed in the process of ensuring security and order, such as non-traditional security issues, non-traditional crime, such as high-tech crime, transnational-organized crime, taking advantage of security breaches in cyberspace to commit crimes, propagandizing wrongdoings, opposing the Party's policies and laws of the State; propagating cultural depravities, degrading traditional ethic values; fraud in cyberspace… Therefore, the problem of prevention and fight against crime in the current period is extremely complex. Facing with this reality, it requires the public security force to make necessary and continuous improvement of political qualities, especially the capability to work, acquire, upgrade and gain knowledge of technology and exploiting effective technology elements into the practical fight against crime in the new situation.
