-We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another.
-We do not yet know just how it will unfold, but one thing is clear: the response to it must be integrated and comprehensive, involving all stakeholders of the global polity, from the public and private sectors to academia and civil society.
-Now a Fourth Industrial Revolution is building on the Third, the digital revolution that has been occurring since the middle of the last century.
-It is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres.
-And these possibilities will be multiplied by emerging technology breakthroughs in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science, energy storage, and quantum computing.
-Artificial intelligence is all around us, from self-driving cars and drones to virtual assistants and software that translate or invest.
