Through electrical power, the second commercial mass production was introduced. Electronics and infotech automated the production procedure in the 3rd industrial transformation. In the fourth industrial transformation the lines between "physical, digital and biological spheres" have actually ended up being blurred and this current transformation, which began with the digital revolution in the mid-1900s, is "identified by a combination of innovations." This combination of technologies consisted of "fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Web of Things, autonomous automobiles, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, products science, energy storage and quantum computing." Prior to the 2016 annual WEF meeting of the Global Future Councils, Ida Aukena Danish MP, who was also a young global leader and a member of the Council on Cities and Urbanization, published a blog post that was later on released by envisioning how innovation could improve our lives by 2030 if the United Nations sustainable development objectives (SDG) were realized through this fusion of technologies.

The short article has actually been slammed as depicting an utopia at the rate of a loss of personal privacy. In reaction, Auken said that it was intended to "begin a discussion about some of the benefits and drawbacks of the present technological development." While the "interest in Fourth Industrial Revolution innovations" had "increased" throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, less than 9% of business were using artificial intelligence, robotics, touch screens and other innovative innovations.
On January 28, 2021 Davos Program virtual panel talked about how expert system (AI) will "basically alter the world". 63% of CEOs think that "AI will have a bigger effect than the Internet." Throughout 2020, the Great Reset Discussions resulted in multi-year jobs, such as the digital transformation program where cross-industry stakeholders examine how the 2020 "dislocative shock" had actually increased and "accelerated digital transformations". Their report stated that, while "digital communities will represent more than $60 trillion in income by 2025", "only 9% of executives [in July 2020] state their leaders have the best digital skills". Political leaders such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S.
