4th Industrial Revolution – 4IR triggered by all kinds of emerging technologies is promising to disrupt the world as we know it, particularly affecting nations and businesses in unforeseen ways.
Dinis Guarda and Dr. Rais Hussin, two famous global influencers and strong opinion-makers in terms of strategy and research, describe in a new book how these new emergent technologies if used wisely, can be used to reinvent nations. The publication is entitled “4IR: AI, Blockchain, Fintech – Reinventing a Nation.”
The book offers a review of the process of digital transformation the world is going through. It discusses the present and future of the 4IR and how a variety of evolving technologies can and will have a significant impact on economies, societies and citizens. The book challenges nations to prepare for 4IR, asking them to focus on the needs of their society leading to a future of sustainable, mindful economic growth on a global playing field, and how these, if rightly utilized, might contribute to a better world where nations are seen as collaborators rather than adversaries.
“4IR – Reinventing a Nation” assembles an array of expert thought leaders who all contributed research to the new book and is a testament to the impressive and expansive global network that Dinis Guarda has built during his 25-year career. The list of contributors includes a foreword by Eric Van der Kleij – the founder of London Tech City and Level 39, Emmanuel Daniel, author and founder of Asian Banker, Guenther Dobrauz Saldapenna, author and Director at PWC, Yoshiyuki Yamamoto, advisor to the UN, Efi Pylarinou, world influencer in Fintech, Thomas Power, author and global authority in Social media, innovation and tech, and also Maria Fonseca, Anca Petre, Dr Margarita Peredaryenko, Michael DaCosta Babb, Hernaldo Turrillo and Javed Khattak.
The book explains, highlights and reflects on the crucial technologies of AI, Blockchain, Fintech, and IoT that are at the core of the 4th Industrial Revolution. “4IR: Reinventing a Nation” discusses the risks and threats and explores how we can best harness the opportunities, strengths, and potential of these technology tools for the future advancement of countries and its citizens. And it further examines how smart cities can experiment with prototyping and fostering scalability around 4IR techs, while at the same time assessing its associated risks.
The authors, Dinis Guarda and Rais Hussin, have experience and authority in dealing with governments, global strategy, operations and projects in AI, Fintech, Blockchain and IoT. The book explains these technologies and offers solutions for individuals, businesses and for the economy at large, facilitating growth through the aggregation of 4IR technology tools.
Dinis Guarda and Rais Hussin highlight from the new book, 4IR: AI, Blockchain, Fintech. Reinventing a Nation:
“The most important question a nation has to answer is whether it has crafted the right narrative and value for its citizens. Most would agree that the best value creation is about growing the economy in a sustainable way, managing a balanced and inclusive society, making sure there are enough jobs and wellbeing for all its citizens, and that the country overall is fostering positive social impact and stability. This is complicated in the present world though. We live in a new world that is changing at a velocity that has never been witnessed in human history, driven by the 4.0 industry revolution (4IR) and its disruptive technologies.”
