Mankind is faced with complex challenges in the world today.It is with this keen understanding that Chinese President XI Jinping made the proactive judgment that “Our world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century.”A significant variable in such major changes is the Fourth Industrial Revolution，which，different from other transformations，will greatly influence the human development process thanks to its scale，speed，breadth，depth and all-round and systematic role.In terms of its size，the fourth industrial revolution will involve the whole society，each family and each individual；in terms of its speed，it will exhibit an exponential，instead of linear，rate of growth；in terms of its breadth and depth，it will bring unprecedented changes to human beings，not only changes in our way of life，work and production，but even the human beings themselves；it will affect the human survival and development systematically，improve or even reshape the environment humans rely on for existence.
