Through electrical power, the second commercial mass production was presented. Electronic devices and information innovations automated the production process in the third commercial revolution. In the fourth commercial transformation the lines in between "physical, digital and biological spheres" have actually become blurred and this existing revolution, which began with the digital transformation in the mid-1900s, is "defined by a combination of technologies."

On January 28, 2021 Davos Agenda virtual panel went over how expert system (AI) will "essentially alter the world". 63% of CEOs think that "AI will have a bigger impact than the Web." During 2020, the Great Reset Discussions resulted in multi-year jobs, such as the digital change program where cross-industry stakeholders examine how the 2020 "dislocative shock" had actually increased and "accelerated digital transformations". Their report said that, while "digital environments will represent more than $60 trillion in income by 2025", "just 9% of executives [in July 2020] state their leaders have the best digital abilities".
