商品描述

World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolu­tion, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work.

Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.

Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wear­able sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manu­facturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials.

The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history.
 
He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individu­als. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frame­works that advance progress.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

世界知名經濟學家克勞斯·施瓦布(Klaus Schwab)是世界經濟論壇(World Economic Forum)的創始人兼執行主席。他解釋說,我們有機會塑造第四次工業革命,這將徹底改變我們的生活和工作方式。

施瓦布認為,這次革命在規模、範圍和複雜性上與以往任何一次革命都不同。這些發展以一系列融合了物理、數字和生物世界的新技術為特徵,影響著所有學科、經濟、行業和政府,甚至挑戰了人類的本質觀念。

人工智能已經無處不在,從超級計算機、無人機和虛擬助手到3D打印、DNA序列、智能恆溫器、可穿戴感測器和比沙粒還小的微芯片。但這只是個開始:比鋼鐵強200倍、比一根頭髮還薄百萬倍的納米材料和首例3D打印肝臟移植已經在研發中。想像一下「智能工廠」,在這裡全球製造系統可以虛擬協調,或者植入式的生物合成材料製成的手機。

施瓦布表示,第四次工業革命比以往任何時期的人類歷史都更重要,其影響也更加深遠。他概述了推動這一革命的關鍵技術,並討論了對政府、企業、公民社會和個人預期的主要影響。施瓦布還提出了如何利用這些變革並塑造更美好未來的大膽想法:技術賦予人們力量而不是取代他們;進步服務於社會而不是破壞它;創新者尊重道德和倫理界限而不是越界。我們都有機會為發展新框架做出貢獻,推動進步。
