专访比尔盖茨：第四次工业革命中国占重要地位 - 比尔盖茨,第四次工业革命 - IT资讯
“中国是第四次工业革命的重要参与者”，中国重视并推动科研，将为世界创新作出更多贡献，微软创始人、第三次工业革命的领军人物比尔·盖茨日前在瑞士达沃斯出席世界经济论坛年会时对新华社记者如是说。
根据本次世界经济论坛创始人兼执行主席克劳斯·施瓦布的表述，第一次工业革命采用水蒸气为动力，实现了生产机械化。第二次工业革命通过电力实现大规模生产。第三次工业革命利用电子信息技术，实现生产自动化。人们正迎来的第四次工业革命，主要特征是各项技术的融合，并将日益消除物理世界、数字世界、生物世界之间的界限。本届达沃斯论坛的主题是“掌控第四次工业革命”。
盖茨认为，第四次工业革命在许多领域带来了快速和颠覆性变化。许多科技领域的创新正快速推进，数字领域的创新可能继续领跑。电脑认知能力、机器人智能化、物联网以及大数据分析模式，可成为众多行业发展的基础工具。
“一次工业革命能够显著提高生产率、创造机会，同时也带来挑战，”盖茨说，技术创新的成果应智慧地加以应用。新技术会解放劳动力，从而使人类在文化领域作出更多贡献，为老年人、残疾人等人群提供更多帮助。
盖茨说，教育方面的成就使中国科技具备了一定的优势，中国有强大的意愿推动不同科技领域的发展，而且中国人力资源丰富，人才辈出。他认为，中国还为技术创新营造了良好创业氛围，许多专业人士在信息技术、生物、机器人等领域创办了自己的企业。中国在全球第四次工业革命中必将占据重要席位。
近年来，盖茨致力于健康与发展领域的创新事业。中国清华大学与比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会22日在达沃斯签署合作备忘录，决定在北京联合成立“全球健康药物研发中心（北京）”。盖茨表示，这一研发中心建在北京是该基金会发展的里程碑，是与中方的又一次重要合作。
盖茨基金会现与中国机构合作，开展了结核病和艾滋病防控等项目。盖茨在本次论坛上发表的一篇文章中表示，他的基金会将会加大对创新领域的投资。他对记者说，预计盖茨基金会将逐步增加对中国技术创新的投资。“在农业方面，盖茨基金会已同中方开展多项合作，因为中国在这一领域具有丰富经验”。对于中国的创新前景，盖茨表示：“我对中国有信心，因为中国目光长远，善于学习。”
盖茨指出，中国有能力应对经济转型带来的挑战，实现既定目标。“中国目前的经济增长速度，是大多数国家难以企及的，让人羡慕，”他说，“我认为中国有一个光明的前景，中国将为世界创新作出更多贡献。”
