Abstract

This research synthesizes current scholarship and real-world examples to critically examine the multifaceted nature of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and its projected impacts on higher education, governance, industry, business, society, and the economy. Beyond summarizing existing literature, the study interrogates the ethical, socio-political, and regional dimensions of 4IR adoption, drawing on frameworks such as techno-ethics, digital sovereignty, and algorithmic bias. Special attention is given to disparities in access and outcomes, as well as to actionable strategies for inclusive, sustainable, and responsible technological transformation. The analysis underscores the urgency of adaptive policy, lifelong learning, and cross-sectoral collaboration to harness 4IR’s benefits while mitigating its risks.
