From Short and Sweet AI, I’m Dr. Peper. Right here, right now, technology breakthroughs are disrupting every industry and massively transforming every industry, exponentially faster than ever before in history. What do you call exponentially fast disruption and massive transformation in world-wide industries? It’s called the 4th industrial revolution.     The 4th industrial revolution is also known as 4 IR or Industry 4.0. But what does it mean? Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, coined the term and wrote a book of the same title. He details how we are now living during a 4th industrial revolution characterized by the fusion of AI, robotics, 3D printing, IOT, quantum computing, blockchain, autonomous vehicles, 5G, synthetic biology, virtual reality, and countless other technologies. He describes this as a “technological revolution… that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital and biological spheres”. Technology merges with humans as our smart watches monitor our hear rate, our temperature or how much we move. It embeds in our daily lives as facial recognition, voice activated assistants, or apps on our phone. This isn’t the future, this is happening now. It’s changing how we live and changing who we are.
