Through electrical power, the second industrial mass production was introduced. Electronic devices and info technologies automated the production process in the third commercial revolution. In the fourth commercial revolution the lines between "physical, digital and biological spheres" have actually ended up being blurred and this current revolution, which began with the digital transformation in the mid-1900s, is "identified by a blend of technologies." This fusion of innovations consisted of "fields such as synthetic intelligence, robotics, the Web of Things, autonomous cars, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science, energy storage and quantum computing."

While the "interest in 4th Industrial Transformation technologies" had actually "surged" throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, fewer than 9% of companies were utilizing artificial intelligence, robotics, touch screens and other innovative technologies.
On January 28, 2021 Davos Program virtual panel discussed how artificial intelligence (AI) will "essentially change the world". 63% of CEOs think that "AI will have a bigger effect than the Internet." During 2020, the Great Reset Dialogues led to multi-year projects, such as the digital improvement programme where cross-industry stakeholders examine how the 2020 "dislocative shock" had actually increased and "sped up digital transformations". Their report said that, while "digital environments will represent more than $60 trillion in income by 2025", "just 9% of executives [in July 2020] state their leaders have the best digital abilities".
