The world economic forum have said that we are at the beginning of a 4th Industrial revolution predominantly created by big data, IoT, 3D printing, AI, machine learning and robotics and increase in service based intangible products. It suggests that 7.1 million jobs will have disappeared by 2020 to be replaced by only 2 million new types of Jobs. It also suggests that this rate of conversion will only accelerate in the next 10 years.
The digital disruption of our economies is just going to get faster, but where are the debates in every country on new models and responses in new skills planning, universal income models, technological, social and political impacts.
