Epilogue: Using cyber republic.
Summary:
"Around the world, liberal democracies are in crisis. Citizens have lost faith in their government; right-wing nationalist movements frame the
political
debate. At the same time, economic inequality is increasing dramatically; digital technologies have created a new class of super-rich entrepreneurs. Automation threatens to transform the free economy into a zero-sum game in which capital wins and labor loses. But is this digital dystopia inevitable? In "Cyber republic," George Zarkadakis presents an alternative, outlining a plan for using technology to make liberal democracies more inclusive and the digital economy more equtable. "Cyber republic" in no less than a guide for the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution in a post-pandemic world. Zarkadakis, an expert on technology and management, explains how
artificial
intelligence
, together with intelligent robotics, sophisticated sensors, communication networks, and big data, will fundamentally reshape the global economy; a new "intelligent machine age" will force us to adopt new forms of economic and
political
organization. He envisions a future liberal democracy in which intelligent machines facilitate citizen assemblies, helping to extend citizen rights, and blockchains and cryptoeconomics enable new forms of democratic governance and business collaboration. Moreover, the same technologies can be applied to scientific research and technological innovation. We need not fear automation, Zarkadakis argues; in a post-work future, intelligent machines can collaborate with humans to achieve the human goals of inclusivity and equality."--Jacket.
