    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst As a historian turned philosopher Harari knows very well how "we can't underestimate human stupidity". The 4th IR brings its own birth pains, as other revolutions brought. We should be very careful as humans how to receive and live with the new technological tools such as AI. Against those who think that who controls AI will control everything, Blockchain should help by empowering humans. Against big data dominated by fake news, AI and blockchain should curtail the algorithm powers to democratise knowledge and protect personal data.
