Recommendation

The fourth industrial revolution is transforming the global economy and shining a light on several yawning dichotomies: hope versus fear, the haves versus the have nots, and “digital dividends” versus “digital divides.” These issues fueled a lively debate for a stellar panel of guests at 2016’s World Economic Forum. getAbstract recommends the experts’ optimistic – though meandering – discussion to the world’s government, corporate and NGO leaders.

Take-Aways

  • Many fear that the fourth industrial revolution will eliminate jobs and raise inequality. Yet some global corporate and government leaders are confident that the transformation can foster a “digital dividend” rather than a “digital divide.”
  • To handle the changes wrought by the fourth industrial revolution, governments must build business environments that are conducive to start-ups.
  • The nature of work will undoubtedly change. Societies must focus on educating citizens in new skills.
