Will the fourth industrial revolution deliver the good life? What is the “good life”, anyway? In this presentation for the World Economic Forum, Hannah Dawson, Lecturer in the History of Political Thought at King's College London, identifies two elements of the good life that many philosophers have agreed on: agency and community. The fourth industrial revolution could pose risks, such as removing agency if everything is done for us, or weakening community through widening inequality.
