The development of means and systems of industrial automation, taking place along with the widespread use of modern information technologies, makes it possible to identify trends characteristic of this field of science and technology, and to predict the directions by which the most important changes will occur in the near future. It is shown that the main trend is a constant increase in the level of built-in artificial intelligence in control systems. From the standpoint of the most demanded and relevant areas of research and development, the driving forces and trends in the development and improvement of industrial automation systems are analyzed.
