The Academy is engaging even more deeply with a broad range of stakeholders and communities to help lead and shape public discourse about the role of science technology and innovation. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIR) heralds an age of AI and big data, machine learning, quantum computing, advanced gene editing technologies, the cloning of human organs to name but a few recent technological advances. With every new scientific breakthrough, there are risks to mitigate and wider social issues to debate - this is why the Academy is launching a series of Fellowships to provide thought leadership on these emerging scientific areas of interest.
