An Orwellian future or humane IR5.0?


Every defensive driver knows that one's foot should be closer to the brake pedal than the accelerator. So when it comes to powerful ideologies that envelop the world, our critical mind and wisdom should play the role of the "brake pedal".

IR4.0, as we know, is all about the proliferation of cyber-physical systems. These systems aggregate data about every object and event in the physical world, analyse it to find intricate and subtle patterns and produce a solution that can be applied back to the physical world – very often without human intervention and using robotics powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
