Through electrical power, the second commercial mass production was introduced. Electronic devices and infotech automated the production procedure in the third commercial transformation. In the fourth industrial revolution the lines in between "physical, digital and biological spheres" have actually become blurred and this existing transformation, which began with the digital revolution in the mid-1900s, is "defined by a fusion of innovations." This fusion of technologies consisted of "fields such as expert system, robotics, the Internet of Things, self-governing cars, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, products science, energy storage and quantum computing." Just prior to the 2016 yearly WEF meeting of the International Future Councils, Ida Aukena Danish MP, who was also a young international leader and a member of the Council on Cities and Urbanization, published a post that was later released by imagining how technology might improve our lives by 2030 if the United Nations sustainable advancement goals (SDG) were realized through this blend of technologies.

In her envisioned situation, a lot of the crises of the early 21st century "way of life diseases, climate modification, the refugee crisis, ecological deterioration, entirely congested cities, water contamination, air pollution, social unrest and unemployment" were dealt with through new technologies. The post has actually been slammed as portraying a paradise at the rate of a loss of personal privacy. In reaction, Auken stated that it was planned to "start a discussion about a few of the benefits and drawbacks of the current technological development." While the "interest in 4th Industrial Revolution innovations" had "spiked" during the COVID-19 pandemic, less than 9% of companies were utilizing machine knowing, robotics, touch screens and other sophisticated technologies.
On January 28, 2021 Davos Agenda virtual panel discussed how expert system (AI) will "essentially alter the world". 63% of CEOs believe that "AI will have a larger effect than the Web." During 2020, the Great Reset Discussions resulted in multi-year projects, such as the digital change programme where cross-industry stakeholders investigate how the 2020 "dislocative shock" had actually increased and "accelerated digital transformations". Their report stated that, while "digital ecosystems will represent more than $60 trillion in profits by 2025", "only 9% of executives [in July 2020] state their leaders have the ideal digital skills". Political leaders such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S.
