Oxford appears prepared for the 4IR due to our strong performance in the 5 principles. However, we acknowledge that there is much room for improvement to ensure that our city's growth does not leave the less privileged behind. Leading thinkers of the 4IR, such as Professor Klaus Schwab, often warn that the 4IR will exacerbate income equality. As such, Oxford should take proactive steps to safeguard its populace, particularly the "pockets" of deprivation as the problem of homelessness continues to worsen. Oxfordshire's Second-Wave Science and Innovation Audit highlighted "Digital Health", "Autonomous Vehicles" and "Quantum Computing" as our regional strengths, all of which will flourish in the 4IR. But as we continue to attract talented professionals, land shortages may potentially displace the populace who are less equipped for these fields. The number of rough sleepers in Oxford has tripled since 2010 and Oxford's 2017 Economic Narrative report foresees further land shortages for the economically disempowered. While the City Council is working with various stakeholders to provide homeless shelters, a more sustainable long-term solution is to re-educate the less privileged through greater cooperation with the universities, City Council and private sector. Proposal 1: Digitize Education As a city with two established universities, we have the educational resources to help residents acquire the necessary knowledge and skill set for the future. One possible way for the universities to improve access for town residents without straining teaching resources is to digitize the existing syllabus. As authors of "The Second Machine Age" McAfee and Brynjolfsson pointed out, digitization enables goods and services to be consumed with zero marginal cost. While digitization drives widespread automation and hence possible structural unemployment, it can ironically re-train the workforce for newer jobs. Oxford University is a late-joiner to the massively open online course (MOOC) scene compared to other international universities, as we launched our first MOOC this year. As the oldest university in the English-speaking world, digitization has been partially impeded by our adamant adherence to tradition. However, digitization would not only benefit current students, it would also improve access to those who wish to re-train themselves for the 4IR. With this initiative, the City Council and NGOs in Oxford who already run adult learning classes will be able to provide higher quality content to non-students. Some stakeholders the university can work with include the Oxfordshire Adult Learning program and Oxford Aspire -- an organization the Oxford Shapers already support. This collaboration effectively leverages the strengths of each party involved: the university can share its knowledge base while the City Council and NGO have the financial and human resource to deliver the courses.
