According to Bhaskar Chakravorti, Senior Associate Dean Of International Business & Finance at The Fletcher School at Tufts University, ‘the entire reason for getting excited about industrial revolutions is that they make us, as a human race better off.’
The current fourth revolution with exponential expansion is characterized by merging technology that blurs the lines between the physical, digital and biological spheres to completely uproot industries all over the world through the emergence of the Internet.
The question then is, in this digital age, will the next industrial revolution be powered by A.I, Big Data, And IOT? What is the impact of an industrial revolution on the world and why is it important? How will the following technologies disrupt/affect/impact the next industrial revolution? Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and the Internet of Things. Is it possible for Least Developing states especially in Africa and like India, Brazil take advantage of the opportunities?
