Curiously enough, Andrew's post arrived in my Inbox while I was looking over the website for Adobe's online DiTA World conference. A minute or two later, I found out that one of the keynote speakers is Toni Ressaire, identified as (among other things) "a founding member of the Information 4.0 Consortium."
Clicking the helpful link at http://information4zero.org/, I see this idea-in-development is trying to put techcomm into a future world dominated by artificial intelligence. As they put it: "Information in cohabitation with IoT, Chatbots, and the future AI."
Sounds interesting, but don't have an opinion. It looks like the site is, at least in part, a set of discussion forums. Worth checking out, I think. There is a lot to think about moving forward.

Subject: [BULK] Information 4.0 Is this a "thing"?
Importance: Low
G'day.
I've recently stumbled across the term, "Information 4.0" From what I
can find online, it seems rather nebulous and trendy. Curious to know whether anyone is moving in that direction with their documentation.
