Through electrical power, the 2nd industrial mass production was introduced. Electronic devices and infotech automated the production procedure in the 3rd commercial transformation. In the fourth industrial transformation the lines between "physical, digital and biological spheres" have become blurred and this present revolution, which began with the digital transformation in the mid-1900s, is "defined by a blend of innovations."

On January 28, 2021 Davos Program virtual panel discussed how expert system (AI) will "fundamentally alter the world". 63% of CEOs believe that "AI will have a larger impact than the Internet." Throughout 2020, the Great Reset Dialogues resulted in multi-year jobs, such as the digital improvement programme where cross-industry stakeholders investigate how the 2020 "dislocative shock" had increased and "accelerated digital improvements". Their report said that, while "digital environments will represent more than $60 trillion in revenue by 2025", "just 9% of executives [in July 2020] say their leaders have the best digital skills".
