Keynote Presentation: The Fourth Industrial Revolution - One Government’s Response

Chair: Mr. Joseph Yew, Cluster Director - Justice, Law & Foreign Affairs Cluster, Government Technology Agency | Government of Singapore

Keynote Speaker: TBC

The First Industrial Revolution was of urbanisation and industrialisation, powered by steam. The Second used electricity, for mass production. The Third, also known as the Digital Revolution, is the evolution of analog and mechanical devices to electronics and digital technology. We are in the Third Industrial Revolution and are on the cusp of the Fourth Industrial Revolution - a new and exciting era in which technology becomes embedded within our everyday lives, marked by breakthroughs in AI, robotics, IoT, and other technologies.

How has the Government of (TBC) been equipping themselves to respond, as the society moves from “d” to “AI”? What has the Government of (TBC) been responding with?

Our distinguished Keynote Speaker will share with us the working principles, the exciting initiatives, the successes and perhaps the failures and learnings that the Government of (TBC) has undertaken thus far.
