#Course: Digital Automation

Information about the course

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is the term given to the current era of technologically driven upheaval through which we are living. There is a recognition that what we are experiencing will lead to fundamental changes in economics, society, politics and indeed manufacturing. For the first time we are faced with a technology set capable of mechanizing human intellectual labour.
In all likelihood the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its successors, will ultimately have a greater impact, both industrially and societally, than the first 3, given the deep entanglement between our definition of humanity and our intellect.
