Speech Title: Science, Technology and Industry in 21st Century Abstract: This presentation discusses the profound technological changes that have taken place during the last 2 decades, the main characteristics being erosion and convergence. It is pointed out that the advances are at the edge of traditional disciplines and the connections between different disciplines are becoming the core of the new technologies, in a not multi, not inter but a transdisciplinary manner. It is argued that convergence fuels convergence and results in emergence. Four distinct phases of industrial revolution, culminating in Industry 4.0 are discussed. The emerging paradigms of big data and cyber physical systems, supported by new disruptive advances both on software and hardware sides, as well as the cross-fertilization of concepts and the amalgamation of information, communication and control technology driven approaches are pointed out to. The recent hype on AI is then discussed and a view on its expected impacts on industry is presented. The presentation concludes with the brief discussions of circular economy and possible transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0. Prof. Okyay Kaynak received the B.Sc. degree with first class honors and Ph.D. degrees in electronic and electrical engineering from the University of Birmingham, UK, in 1969 and 1972 respectively.
