The Fourth Industrial Revolution brings a great new era of social upheaval. With the advent of the Internet and Artificial Intelligence, the modern world is full of possibilities for advances and setbacks, thus being studied with due care. With this moment of great convulsions, once again people and companies interested in using it as a curtain for the old exploitation of the worker and abuse of fundamental rights arise. Thus, this article, making a parallel with the film „The Wizard of Oz” and using documentary and bibliographic sources, seeks to determine the possibilities and limits with these incipient technologies, to separate fantasy from reality and technology from exploration, and thus prevent Silicon Valley from redefining and stipulating what work is.
