Citizens have lost faith in their government; right-wing nationalist movements frame the political debate. At the same time, economic inequality is increasing dramatically; digital technologies have created a new class of super-rich entrepreneurs. Automation threatens to transform the free economy into a zero-sum game in which capital wins and labor loses. But is this digital dystopia inevitable? In \u003ci\u003eCyber Republic\u003c\/i\u003e, George Zarkadakis presents an alternative, outlining a plan for using technology to make liberal democracies more inclusive and the digital economy more equitable. \u003ci\u003eCyber Republic\u003c\/i\u003e is no less than a guide for the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution.\u003cbr\u003eZarkadakis, an expert on technology and management, explains how artificial intelligence, together with intelligent robotics, sophisticated sensors, communication networks, and big data, will fundamentally reshape the global economy; a new \"intelligent machine age\" will force us to adopt new forms of economic and political organization. He envisions a future liberal democracy in which intelligent machines facilitate citizen assemblies, helping to extend citizen rights, and blockchains and cryptoeconomics enable new forms of democratic governance and business collaboration. Moreover, the same technologies can be applied to scientific research and technological innovation. We need not fear automation, Zarkadakis argues; in a post-work future, intelligent machines can collaborate with humans to achieve the human goals of inclusivity and equality.FOREWORD BY DON TAPSCOTT ix\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION xv\u003cbr\u003e1 DEMOCRACY VERSUS LIBERALISM 1\u003cbr\u003e2 MACHINES THAT THINK 13\u003cbr\u003e3 A WORLD WITHOUT WORK 21\u003cbr\u003e4 MACHINES AT THE HELM 39\u003cbr\u003e5 A NEW WORLD ORDER 53\u003cbr\u003e6 CITIZEN ASSEMBLIES 67\u003cbr\u003e7 AI FOR GOOD 85\u003cbr\u003e8 THE WEB OF EVERYTHING 101\u003cbr\u003e9 DEMOCRATIZING THE AI ECONOMY 117\u003cbr\u003e10 SCALING A POLIS 133\u003cbr\u003eEPILOGUE: USING CYBER REPUBLIC 143\u003cbr\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS 147\u003cbr\u003eNOTES 149\u003cbr\u003eINDEX 167George Zarkadakis leads the Future of Work consulting practice at Willis Towers Watson, a global risk management consulting firm.
