In its first draft report, the Presidential Commission on the Fourth Industrial Revolution developed the South African definition of the fourth industrial revolution as an era in which people are using smart, connected and converged cyber, physical and biological systems and smart business models to define and reshape the social, economic and political spheres. This definition calls for collaboration among several sectors of the economy to achieve the intended impact. This conversation focuses on the type of industry regulations that are required in the era of the fourth industrial revolution.
