Words not created or defined until the Industrial Revolution

From How To Think About AI by Richard Susskind

As we move from one stage of human and social development to another, words and concepts often acquire new meanings or are concocted to capture and reflect emerging ideas for which no preexisting vocabulary is adequate. Eric Hobsbawm illustrates this point memorably on the opening page of his book, The Age of Revolution: 1789-1848. He invites us there to ‘consider a few English words which were invented, or gained their modern meanings’ during the sixty-year period that was the object of his study:

The are words such as ‘industry’, ‘industrialist’, ‘factory’, ‘middle class’, ‘working class’, ‘capitalism’, and ‘socialism’. They include ‘aristocracy’ as well as ‘railway’, ‘liberal’, ‘conservative’ as political terms, ‘nationality’, ‘scientist’ and ‘engineer’… ‘statistics’, ‘sociology’ and several other names of modern sciences, ‘journalism’ and ‘ideology’, are all coinages or adaptation of this period.

Isn’t it remarkable that these terms were not in play before the Industrial Revolution? What new works or repurposed words, I wonder, will emerge in the coming years to refer to the new concepts, ideas, and problems that have been birthed in the age of AI?
