Last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos he raised the question, ”are we ready for the Fourth Industrial Revolution?”
According to digital strategist Don Tapscott the focus of gathering is how technology is fused into almost everything in the physical, digital and biological worlds.
Reporting from Davos 2016, he said: – Now, we are in a fourth revolution (…) Ubiquitous digital technologies, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, the so-called Internet of things, 3D printing, nanotechnology, robotics, biotechnology and big developments in materials science, energy storage and quantum computing are starting to shake the windows and rattle the walls of the global economy.
Tapscott, who is attending Aftenposten´s Technology Conference this first coming Wednesday, has written 15 books on how technological innovation affects our society.
In 2013, he was listed as the 4th most important business thinker in the world. In 2015, he was appointed Senior Adviser to the World Economic Forum.
INNOMAG will cover tomorrow´s conference where Tapscott is joined by Norwegian speakers including the Minister of Trade and Industry, Monica Mæland. As one of the world’s leading authorities on innovation, media, and the economic and social impact of technology, Don Tapscott, will prepare us for what is coming.
