Technological change has been unprecedented in the past 30 years, driven by innovation in information systems, telecommunication services, and electronics, all combining to deliver wave after wave of business transformation. Technological change is in some ways irrevocably linked to business transformation and vice versa, with disruptive technologies fuelling business innovation, which in turn provides the funding and resources for the next wave of technological advancements to take place. The upcoming wave of technological change is profoundly different from all the previous ones in that AI introduces the notion of autonomy for machines to decide and act to levels unparalleled compared to historical precedents, with ever-diminishing human input and supervision required.
