The Fourth Industrial Revolution, or 4IR,

 is the fourth major industrial era since the initial Industrial Revolution of the 18th century.[citation needed] The Fourth Industrial Revolution can be described[by whom?] as a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, and impacting all disciplines, economies and industries. Klaus Schwab has associated it with the "second machine age"[1] in terms of the effects of digitization and AI on the economy, but added a broader role for advances in biological technologies.[2][need quotation to verify]
Schwab sees as part of this revolution "emerging technology breakthroughs" in fields such as artificial intelligencerobotics, the Internet of Thingsautonomous vehicles3D printingquantum computing and nanotechnology.[3]
