Abstract

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is characterised by technological advances becoming more embedded in society than ever before, further supporting globalisation that also allows South African scientists to compete internationally. Is this bringing about development and transformation or further exclusion in our marginalised communities? HSRC researchers spoke about this at the annual Science Forum South Africa (SFSA) in Pretoria. Antoinette Oosthuizen reports.
