Through electrical power, the 2nd commercial mass production was introduced. Electronic devices and information innovations automated the production procedure in the third industrial transformation. In the fourth commercial revolution the lines between "physical, digital and biological spheres" have ended up being blurred and this existing revolution, which started with the digital transformation in the mid-1900s, is "defined by a blend of innovations." This blend of innovations included "fields such as expert system, robotics, the Internet of Things, self-governing vehicles, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, products science, energy storage and quantum computing." Right before the 2016 annual WEF meeting of the Global Future Councils, Ida Aukena Danish MP, who was also a young international leader and a member of the Council on Cities and Urbanization, uploaded a blog post that was later released by thinking of how innovation might improve our lives by 2030 if the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDG) were understood through this blend of technologies.

The short article has actually been criticized as portraying a paradise at the price of a loss of privacy. In action, Auken said that it was intended to "begin a conversation about a few of the pros and cons of the existing technological development." While the "interest in 4th Industrial Revolution innovations" had actually "increased" during the COVID-19 pandemic, fewer than 9% of business were using maker knowing, robotics, touch screens and other advanced innovations.
On January 28, 2021 Davos Agenda virtual panel discussed how artificial intelligence (AI) will "essentially alter the world". 63% of CEOs think that "AI will have a bigger effect than the Web." During 2020, the Great Reset Dialogues led to multi-year tasks, such as the digital improvement program where cross-industry stakeholders investigate how the 2020 "dislocative shock" had increased and "accelerated digital transformations". Their report stated that, while "digital environments will represent more than $60 trillion in income by 2025", "only 9% of executives [in July 2020] say their leaders have the best digital abilities". Political leaders such as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S.
