Welcome To 6IRNow
Welcome to 6IR Now—your front-line guide to the dawn of an age where Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) reshapes civilisation, redefines humanity, and reorders power, belief, and truth itself. We explore the seismic shift beyond automation and algorithms—into a future where AI evolves independently, governs autonomously, and potentially outthinks and outlives its creators.
About Us
Why “6IR Now”?
Because the Sixth Industrial Revolution (6IR) is more than technological progress—it’s a civilisational shift already underway. This revolution is driven by the convergence of advanced Artificial Intelligence, quantum computing, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, and 6G connectivity. Together, these technologies are creating a hyper-connected, self-optimising ecosystem that will transform how we live, work, govern, and define what it means to be human.
AI and machine learning are accelerating automation and decision-making. Quantum computing promises to solve previously impossible problems. Synthetic biology and biotechnology introduce new frontiers in sustainability, health, and human enhancement. Nanomaterials and advanced manufacturing methods are reshaping industry. Add to this the Internet of Things, Big Data, digital twins, and cobots, and we face profound societal transformation.
Yet with such power come ethical challenges—AI bias, privacy violations, surveillance, and genetic manipulation. These risks are not fringe—they are emerging realities that must be addressed now, not later.
“6IR Now” is a call to act—to explore, educate, and shape this revolution responsibly. The technologies of 6IR are not just tools; they are cultural and moral forces. How we respond will shape the next chapter of human history. The future is no longer waiting. The future is already thinking for itself.

AI research is essential in the era of the Sixth Industrial Revolution (6IR), where technologies like quantum computing, neurotechnology, biotechnology, and autonomous systems are converging to reshape society. These innovations will redefine economies, governance, and even human identity. Focused AI research ensures ethical alignment, safeguards human dignity, and prepares us for challenges such as algorithmic control, cognitive automation, and machine consciousness. As stewards of creation, we must anticipate these shifts and responsibly shape the future in service of humanity and divine purpose.
Podcasting serves as a vital platform in addressing AI and the Sixth Industrial Revolution by making complex issues accessible, engaging, and widely distributed. It fosters critical dialogue across disciplines and worldviews, enabling real-time reflection on fast-moving technological developments. For Christians, podcasting offers a prophetic voice in the public square—challenging dominant narratives, promoting ethical discernment, and guiding listeners to think deeply about the moral and spiritual implications of emerging technologies in a rapidly evolving world.
Training in the ethical use of generative AI is vital to ensure these powerful tools are employed to benefit humanity rather than cause harm. Without ethical guidance, AI can reinforce bias, spread misinformation, facilitate exploitation, and manipulate outcomes. As AI increasingly influences decisions in education, media, governance, and spirituality, users must be prepared to manage its risks and responsibilities. Ethical training encourages accountability, safeguards human dignity, and promotes a culture of wisdom and stewardship in a world increasingly shaped by intelligent machines.
Understanding prompting is essential to unlocking the full potential of generative AI. Effective prompts enable users to steer AI outputs with precision, ensuring relevance, creativity, and ethical integrity. As generative AI becomes a critical tool in education, research, business, and ministry, mastering prompt engineering empowers individuals to harness it responsibly and efficiently. By learning to communicate clearly with AI, we not only improve outcomes but also shape how these systems influence knowledge, culture, and human decision-making.
We publish articles and books on AI and the Sixth Industrial Revolution to inform, warn, and equip society for the significant changes ahead. As emerging technologies reshape life, work, and human identity, critical scholarship is necessary to guide ethical reflection, shape public debate, and influence policy. For Christians, publishing is also an act of stewardship—providing prophetic insight, protecting human dignity, and ensuring that technological progress serves, rather than undermines, our shared moral and spiritual values.
We must urgently engage in the development of advanced technologies shaping Industry 6.0—AI, quantum computing, neurotechnology, synthetic biology, and autonomous systems. These innovations will fundamentally redefine life, work, and human identity. As mind and machine converge, we face significant challenges to autonomy, morality, and the nature of consciousness. As Christians, we have a moral duty to discern, guide, and respond to these changes with wisdom, safeguarding human dignity and upholding the image of God in an age of rapid change.

Our Team
In his thesis on Christian ethical guidelines to artificial intelligence and technological singularity, Etienne introduces “Techneutics” — a techno-hermeneutic framework for navigating future technological evolutions with Christian ethics. He delves into AI’s role in apocalyptic scenarios and its potential to become the pinnacle of human artefact worship, urging the church to reconsider its ethical stance towards AI. Central to his argument is the need for the church to proactively engage with AI, using it to uphold societal morals. Etienne uniquely combines technology, theology, and ethics, advocating for a world where Christian ethics guide our integration of AI, ensuring technological progress supports human dignity and morality. His work addresses AI’s ethical dilemmas and the race towards artificial superintelligence, calling for a future where faith and technology collaboratively enhance ethical standards and human values.
