SALGA National Communicators Forum 27 September 2018

What is the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Speed, Scope and Impact Introduction to the Fourth Industrial Revolution Technology Drivers

FIRST THREE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONS FIRST INDUSTRIAL REVOULTION (~ 1765 to 1840) Steam Power Rise of the Factory SystemMachine tools, chemical manufacturing, iron productionSECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (~ 1870 to 1914)Rapid industrializationElectricity, telephone, railIncreased inter-connectedness THIRD INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (1970 to today)Rise of electronicsMicroprocessors, telecommunications, automation

THE “FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION” The fourth industrial revolution refers to the fusion of technologies in the physical, digital and biological domains leading to the creation of new technologies that will usher in a new industrial era characterised by exponential growth, inter – connectedness, increased human productivity and the blurring of the lines between man and machine.

SCOPE AND BREADTH OF THE FOURTH OF THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Technologies and paradigms driving FIR will have impact across sectors – society, government, logistics, healthcare, service provision, business etc. Players upstream & downstream of manufacturing will have to adapt This massive predicted change could have social, ethical and distributional issuesCritical that broader society, NGO’s, Media etc are well informed and engaged FIR also tends toward globalizations and integration across value chains – further implications for trade and cross boundary policy.

TECHNOLOGY EXAMPLE – FUTURE HEALTHCARE

Parliament Government CSIR What do we need to do? How is South Africa Responding

PARLIAMENT “…We will soon establish a Digital Industrial Revolution Commission, which will include the private sector and civil society to ensure that our country is in a position to seize the opportunities…”– President Cyril Ramaphosa, State of the Nation Address, 2018  Parliament requested CSIR to prepare a concept paper to: Raise the level of awareness to stimulate a coherent policy response;Commit to greater investments in Research and Development (R&D ), including responsible targeted R&D to solve priority public challenges; Coordinate and integrate interventions better across sectors Commit to deliberate spreading of its benefit/opportunities and threats; and Improve oversight by the Parliament and an evidence-basis for future law-making .

GOVERNMENT

COUNCIL FOR SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH CSIR MANDATE “ The objects of the CSIR are, through directed and particularly multi-disciplinary research and technological innovation, to foster, in the national interest and in fields which in its opinion should receive preference, industrial and scientific development, either by itself or in co-operation with principals from the private or public sectors , and thereby to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the people of the Republic, and to perform any other functions that may be assigned to the CSIR by or under this Act. ” (Scientific Research Council Act 46 of 1988, amended by Act 71 of 1990 ) Robotics Big Data Adv. Man Digitilization Cloud Security IOT

Innovation System Skills 4.0 What Should we be Doing? Enabling Environment Adoption for Inclusive Growth

WHAT SHOULD WE BE DOING?STRENGTHENING INNOVATION ENVIRONMENT Big data Predictive analytics Cloud computing Internet of Things Embedded linked sensors Augmented reality and wearables Blockchain Energy Capture, storage and transmission New computing technologies Advanced materials (Nano/Alloys) Micro- nano electronics Industrial biotechnology Photonics Geoengineering Additive manufacturing (3D Printing) Advanced robotics Artificial Intelligence Neurotechnologies Space technologies

WHAT SHOULD WE BE DOING?ENABLING ENVIRONMENT

ADOPTION FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH The rapid pace of technology development and adoption in society may marginalise those that cannot afford new technology. Create mechanisms that ensure equitable access to (or at a minimum benefit from) new technologies FIR has the potential to greatly enhance competitiveness, but equally has the potential to further widen the gap between the formal and secondary economies. Radical economic transformation and inclusive growth should not be excluded from policy discussions.

CONCLUSIONEducation as we know it will change – its up to the individual to determine his/her learning experiences Workplace learning, life-long learning will be required to keep upAs a country we need to ensure an inclusive and enabling environment to benefit thrive through the fourth industrial revolution The Fourth Industrial Revolution is not a theory – it is happening! Technology is progressing at an unprecedented paceAs a country, as a workforce, we will need to adapt to this rapidly changing world
