Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the problems connected with visible changes in industry in the context of the consequent four industrial revolutions. The last one is associated with “industry 4.0”, which in turn manifests in the presence of the following constitutive parts (systems): cyber physical systems, the Internet of Things, the Internet of Services and intelligent factories. Another important factor of the ongoing changes is the appearance of a new branch, which tries to comprise in its theoretical divagations the problems discussed in IT, mathematics, neurophysiology, electronics, psychology, anthropology and philosophy. In the experimental area this realm, in turn, is treated as a branch of IT. All these constituents can be defined as artificial intelligence. The aim of this research is an attempt to answer the question posed in the title of the article, taking into consideration the potentially most holistic approach to these problems in the context of sustainable development of the constituent capitals taking into consideration not only the increasing of opportunities but maximizing the benefits in the natural, social and economic spheres.
