Through electrical power, the 2nd commercial mass production was presented. Electronic devices and info technologies automated the production procedure in the third commercial transformation. In the fourth commercial transformation the lines in between "physical, digital and biological spheres" have ended up being blurred and this present revolution, which began with the digital transformation in the mid-1900s, is "identified by a blend of technologies." This combination of technologies consisted of "fields such as synthetic intelligence, robotics, the Web of Things, self-governing lorries, 3-D printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science, energy storage and quantum computing."

On January 28, 2021 Davos Program virtual panel talked about how artificial intelligence (AI) will "essentially alter the world". 63% of CEOs believe that "AI will have a larger effect than the Web." During 2020, the Great Reset Dialogues led to multi-year tasks, such as the digital transformation programme where cross-industry stakeholders investigate how the 2020 "dislocative shock" had actually increased and "sped up digital transformations". Their report said that, while "digital ecosystems will represent more than $60 trillion in earnings by 2025", "just 9% of executives [in July 2020] say their leaders have the ideal digital abilities".
