The Agentic Ai Fabric

4th Industrial Revolution(IR) builds on the inventions of the Third Industrial Revolution—or digital revolution—which unfolded from the 1950s and to the early 2000s and brought us computers, other kinds of electronics, the Internet, and much more. Industry 4.0 brings these inventions beyond the previous realm of possibility with four foundational types of disruptive technologies:

• Connectivity, data, and computational power: cloud technology, the Internet, blockchain, sensors
• Analytics and intelligence: advanced analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence
• Human–machine interaction: virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), robotics and automation, autonomous guided vehicles
• Advanced engineering: additive manufacturing (such as, 3-D printing), renewable energy, nanoparticles
