Description
This book is about the emerging New-Age Technology underlying the rapidly unfolding Industrial Revolution 4.0, its impact on economy and society, and implications for public policy in a global setting. Part One of the book presents a primer on the New-Age Technology and its constituents, including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Big Data Analytics, Robotics, Blockchain, Automated Technology, Additive Manufacturing, Internet of Things and Augmented Reality. Part Two of the book discusses the potential impact of the New-Age Technology on economic growth, employment, socio-economic inequalities and human development besides the evolving Banking-Finance 4.0. Part Three of the book dilates on the associated global public policy issues, including Right to Privacy, social media and democratic governance, cyber security, surveillance and the threat to national security and world peace arising from weaponization of technology. This part is rounded-up by discussion of issues relating to regulation and strategic development of the New-Age Technology. While the entire book is in the global setting, the final part of the book includes a brief chapter on India as a case-study. This book, probably the first of its kind, bringing it all together—technology, economy, society and national security, would benefit individuals, businesses, corporates, civil society as well as policymakers around the world.
