 It's a false industrial revolution. It's a fusion of the physical, the digital and the biological world. It's changing not only what we are doing, it's changing who we are. It's really the notion of digital technology pervasively impacting every walk of life in every vertical industry on all parts of the globe. Whether it's information technology and the acceleration we see in artificial intelligence, a lot is happening. Society and how we're going to live is being defined right now. Suspeed is mind boggling. What I'm particularly concerned about is how little the world is prepared. Harnessing this revolution requires the involvement of all stakeholders from public and private sectors to academia and civil society. The World Economic Forum Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network ensures that the development and application of emerging technologies benefits both people and the planet. It is a network of centres for scalable impact with locations in the United States, Japan, India and China bringing together stakeholders to identify the impacts of these technologies, co-design innovative governance protocols and policy frameworks and pilot them with partners around the world. We are not innovative. If we're not creative enough, it would be very difficult to survive in this century. Humans and machines are assisting each other, augmenting each other with skills. Humanity itself will be changed with this super intelligence and we are at the doorstep of that era. The technologies available today will impact and change healthcare forever. 52% of the encounters with our primary care physicians were handled virtually. Just a massive change. The network will work closely to share research, analysis and learning and help design new technologies in ways that respect societal values. It's where innovation is happening about how we guide this revolution. We can solve the many of the social issues through the digital technologies. My hope is that we have a robust discussion for how this can truly help our world solve some of the hard-pressed challenges that we have today. Together, we can shape a future that truly benefits and empowers people. The world has changed. We can never ever go back to yesterday.
