DESCRIPTION

Scientific achievement in data driven technologies are now a major force in human existence. The 21st century is witnessing the fourth wave of industrial revolution. In the IR 4.0, the core concern is to create autonomous decision making of cyber physical system via cloud technology. Such scientific involvements are the indicators of modernity, development and progress. Every nation-state is taking initiative on integrating automated devices in every sphere of life. These sorts of artificial intelligence are being quite popular in practical tasks. To some extent the crisis now-a-day is to understand if such involvements of artificial intelligence in daily activity are giving less scope to be interactive with human contact? In this IR 4.0 version it is not less important to acculturate the technological development, nevertheless, at the same time it is also important to look after how human are addressing their existence and survival strategy.
Artificial Intelligence might replace human labor with automated services; however, it has been a debate of this 21st century is that how creativity endeavors, social interaction and physical dexterity and mobility can be replaced with data informed technology. Recently, researches are showing that depression, chaos and mental break down are some major outcome of individualist technology centered lifestyle. Recently the world has witnessed that in a community people are hiring sisters to help those people who are alienated from the society as a byproduct of modernism. Such events help us to realize that it is high time we reclaim the importance of social science and humanities to address such issues; we talk about the importance of social interaction in our life so that the society and distinct culture cherish humanity.
