Davos at 47 Years Always Interesting News >From the Gathering in Switzerland of Business Government NGO Leaders
Each winter for the past four decades leaders in government, business, media, academia, and civil society gather beneath snow-capped mountains in the mile-high town of Davos, Switzerland to ponder and debate the present and future of our world society. This year’s gathering (2,500 in attendance) focused in good measure on the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
The first revolution being use of water and steam to move from hand-to-mechanical means of production; the second was the coming of electronic wonders in mass production; the third is use of IT and electronics to automate and communicate and transfer information via the internet. The fourth? Automation… artificial intelligence… robots… drones... interactive technologies… virtual reality... enabled disruption... Everything we take for granted is in upheaval. For humans, will it be competition (with robots) or collaboration? They debated that in Davos this month.
