Chinese entrepreneur Jack Ma says the spate of technological
advances around the world could lead to a new global conflict between
major powers looking to assert their dominance.
“The First World War was because of the first technology revolution. The second technology revolution caused World War II,” he told the audience during a discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“This is the third technology revolution – we’re coming.”
The
Alibaba founder’s comments echoed those he made two years ago, when he
said that automation and the rise of artificial intelligence would
create internal social upheaval and a geopolitical redistribution of
power between the leaders and those left behind.
Though elsewhere in his speech, he wryly remarked that “today, there’s no expert of tomorrow, there’s only experts of yesterday.”
