第四次工业革命

第四次工业革命 (4IR) 指的是从18世纪工业革命开始后进入的第四个阶段，它被描述成各种科技的融合，而融合的过程因使得物理、数位和生物等领域科技之间界线难分，故统称为网宇实体系统。第四次工业革命，是以石墨烯、基因工程、虚拟现实、量子信息技术、可控核聚变、清洁能源以及生物技术为技术突破口的工业革命，5G并不算第四次工业革命。^[1] 各种新兴科技的突破为其特征，如机器人学、人工智能、纳米科技、量子电脑、生物科技、物联网、工业物联网（IIoT）、分散式共识、5G、增材制造／3D打印和全自动驾驶汽车。

世界经济论坛的执行董事长克劳斯·施瓦布认为就数字化和人工智能对全球经济的影响来看，第四次工业革命和第二次机器时代息息相关，^[2]但他认为生物科技的进步在前者占有着更广泛的角色。^[3] 这些科技扰乱了每一个国家几乎所有的产业，而这些改变的深度和广度则带来了整个生产、管理和治理系统的转型。

施瓦布把新兴科技的突破视为这个革命的一部分，如人工智能、机器人学、物联网、自动驾驶汽车、3D打印、量子电脑以及纳米科技。^[4] 在第四波的工业革命中，我们将会看到那些具有高度扰乱潜力的新兴科技的大量运用。^[5]

2019年在世界经济论坛达沃斯的会议中指出社会5.0 （页面存档备份，存于互联网档案馆）也许是第四次工业革命后的另一波工业革命。^[6]
