Industry 4.0 technologies such as AI, ML, Bigdata, Digital Twining, unmanned platforms and drones have a significant role to play in the Arctic. In particular, 4IR technologies offer enormous opportunities to gain deeper knowledge of the Arctic that is critical for studying impact of climate change. AI models are being developed to detect ice seals, polar bears, and other marine mammals to obtain better understanding of the Arctic marine ecosystem. As the Arctic gains greater importance and central role in global policy,
diplomatic, military, transport, technology, and environmental issues, the future of the Arctic will be driven by Industry 4.0 technologies.
