The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network’s vision is to help shape the development and application of emerging technologies, such as AI and blockchain, for the benefit of humanity. The network’s mission is to co-design, test and refine governance protocols and policy frameworks to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks of advanced science and technology. To accelerate impact and drive change, the network brings together governments, business organizations, dynamic start-ups, civil society, academia and international organizations from around the world to work together across nine emerging technology areas.
Headquartered in San Francisco, the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network also includes hubs in China, India and Japan. In addition to these Forum-led centres, the network is establishing affiliate centres around the world that are managed and operated locally by governments and/or invited academic institutions.
