The Third Gutenberg Moment: Dr...Brussels, Belgium – Renowned economist and diplomat Dr. Drasko Acimovic https://www.linkedin.com/in/drasko-acimovic-7bb20126a/ has officially introduced the paradigm of the “Third Gutenberg Moment,” signaling a profound shift in global institutional identity. According to Acimovic’s latest analysis, the world is no longer in a state of mere uncertainty but has officially entered the operational phase of a new economic and social model.
“The world as we knew it has reached its sunset,” stated Dr. Acimovic. “Just as the printing press broke the monopoly on knowledge and financial management in the 15th century, today Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) are redefining the core pillars of human power and national sovereignty.”
Acimovic outlines this historical cyclicity through three crucial stages. The First Moment was the invention of the printing press, which democratized knowledge. The Second Moment was the internet and mobile revolution. The Third Moment, which we are experiencing now, marks the final transition to AI and digital money.
According to Acimovic, this third stage signifies the end of the era of traditional intermediaries. He argues that CBDCs and advanced AI systems are not simply technical innovations but the foundations of a new architecture for the global economy and future diplomacy.
Dr. Acimovic points out that this transition offers a historic window of opportunity. In the previous paradigm, the global hierarchy was largely fixed. However, the “Third Gutenberg Moment” acts as a great equalizer. Nations and organizations that actively integrate these technologies today are not just upgrading their systems; they are securing a seat at the new global table where the rules of the next century are being written. For smaller or emerging economies, being an early adopter of the AI-CBDC framework is the only way to ensure national sovereignty and economic relevance in a decentralized world.
Unlike futuristic theories, Acimovic emphasizes that this transformation is already functional. “We are not waiting for change; we are already living it. The institutional framework is transforming in real-time. Those who do not understand this tectonic, technological, and economic shift will remain prisoners of obsolete structures,” the diplomat warned.
This vision was recently detailed in an exclusive interview with N1 (CNN Exclusive Affiliate) https://n1info.ba/vijesti/svijet-je-usao-u-operativni-dio-treceg-svjetskog-poretka/ ,highlighting the urgency for global leaders to adapt to this new world order.
