2 MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy
The Second Machine Age
2
Changing the world requires two things: • Physical Power: move or transform things • Mental Power: decide where and how
Industrial Revolution = Physical Power • Steam engine (and Internal combustion engine, Electricity) • Mostly a complement to humans
Second Machine Age = Mental Power • Computers, Software, Big Data, Machine Intelligence • Complement or substitute?

The Hard Truth
Digital progress makes the economic pie bigger.
But there is no economic law that everyone, or even most people, will benefit.

The New Grand Challenge • Digital technologies will continue
to accelerate.
• Our skills, organizations and institutions are lagging.
• Business as usual won’t solve this problem.
We need to reinvent our economy and society to keep up with accelerating technology
