Summary

The talk discusses Carlota Perez's framework of technological revolutions, which predicts that every major technological breakthrough will lead to a fundamental transformation of society. The framework is based on the observation that technological revolutions follow a predictable pattern, with four stages: installation, deployment, standardization and regulation, and maturity. This pattern has been observed in past revolutions such as the Industrial Revolution, the rise of the internet, and the current AI revolution. Perez's framework suggests that the next technological revolution will be driven by advancements in artificial intelligence, which are already underway. The talk concludes by noting that the bubble surrounding modern machine learning will eventually crash, leading to a new era of widespread adoption and deployment of AI technologies.
