Key messages The fourth industrial revolution is a fundamental shift in the way that technology, communications, data,and analytics impacts almost all aspects of society and the economy This era presents South Africa with significant and interrelated opportunities - Improved access to better services, provided more efficiently across socio-economic and geographic barriers- Increasing transparency, trust and social cohesion through direct communication but also a host of risks to effectively manage- Unequal access to benefits – infrastructure access and training required- Employment displacement as automation and new business models increase need for education and training The government has a critical role to play in securing and enhancing the human capital and technologicalassets required to harness the power of the fourth industrial revolution Telkom is uniquely positioned to drive the foundations of the fourth industrial revolution: investing in thecountry’s largest networks, integrating services and players, forging new business models, developing talent In order to realise the full potential of this moment in history we need multiple stakeholders to work in acoordinated way towards a shared vision in terms of financial investment and target outcomesThe 4th Industrial Revolution3

The proliferation and adoption of these inter-related technologies marks this period asdistinct from those that preceded itCYBER-PHYSICAL TECHNOLOGIES – broad adoption of 3D printing,roboticsPERVASIVE CONNECTIVITY – always connected, everywhere, toeverything with increased sensing and actuatingBIG DATA – collecting more information, about more things, more thanwe ever have before Manufacturing is beginning to see Manufacturing begins to see aability to produce goods at scaleof labour andCOMPUTING POWER – decouplingexponentialaccelerationproductionvolumes due to the Innovations in water / steaminsightsdata in realintroductiontime of electricitytechnologyallow firstfrommechanicalproduction facilities and New power source affordstransportationunprecedented levels of production Computers begin to enable theearliest digitisation in factoriesin ourability to extract Ability to collect, store, and processinformation informs efficiencies inphysical production Decisions can be made at a morehalf thespeed withrapid pace than ever beforeAI – machines ability to do human activities atcontinuous self improvement embed in the technologyThe 4th Industrial Revolution5

How do we deal with the 4th Industrial Revolution? The 4th industrial revolution is not a sectorproblem and must be seen as part ofnational discourse We must understand the economic impactof the 4th industrial revolution onindividual sectors as it has the potentialto improve sustainable and inclusivegrowth or worsen our economicprosperity We must then actively mitigate adverseimpact and leverage opportunities inshort and long-term through acoordinated and agreed nationalframework to deal with the 4th industrialrevolutionThe 4th Industrial Revolution7

For governments, the 4th industrial revolution presents significant and interrelatedopportunities but also a host of risks, which must be effectively managedROLE OF GOVERNMENTPROVIDERof critical services tocitizensSTEWARDof SA’s globalcompetitiveness andinformation economyLARGEST EMPLOYERin the countryBUYER/USERof digital enablingtechnologiesREGULATORof technology andprivacyOPPORTUNITIES Improved access to better services Increasing transparency, trust and socialcohesion Focus on intimacy at scale Reduced cost of service deliveryThe 4th Industrial Revolution8RISKS Civil liberties infringement Regulatory burden Unequal access Accelerating employment displacement

The strategy should take a “layered” approach to the systems of actors and technologiesEXAMPLE SOLUTIONNational level creating broad “horizontal” applications de-duplicating information simplifying governmental processes increasing coordinationMunicipal level tailoring solutions for local conditions sharing data to refine national models increasing citizen engagement (two-ways)Smart CitiesIndustry level creating ecosystems of actors withdifferent interests / incentives sharing non-proprietary informationacross supply chains creating new business models“Farm of theFuture”The 4th Industrial Revolution10BiometricCloud
