2030 And The Good Future Technology And Humanity | Gerd Leonhard At Gcaiot 2021 (Audio-version only)

Audio-only versions of Futurist Gerd Leonhard's keynotes

This is the audio-version of my entire keynote at #IEEE's GCAIoT 2022 conference in Dubai (held virtually, keynote-television style), followed by a fast-moving q&a session. A perfect video to kick off 2022:) Imho, this is one of my best talks on what we can expect for the next 10 years, elaborating further on the topics introduced in my recent #thegoodfuture themes and my latest film see https://www.futuristgerd.com/sharing/thegoodfuturefilm/, such as: The future is better than we tend think! Organism aren't algorithms - the more we connect the more we have to protect what makes us human. Technology is a tool - not a purpose. Algorithms know the logic of everything but the feeling of nothing. Everything should be as connected as necessary (eg the IoT) - but not more. AI should be all about competence not about consciousness; and we need a global moratorium on AGI. Data is truly the new oil - but it can also be the 'new plutonium: be careful what you wish for. We will see more change in the next 10 years than in the previous 100 years, as we are heading into a strange, confusing and challenging 'golden era'. The Covid19 crisis is really tough for all of us, but also brings a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rethink what kind of future we want, and how we can realize it - it's a key pivot point in our history. In this talk, I present 3 tickets to a good future, what I call #theddr DIGITIZATION (ethical use of exponential technology), DECARBONIZATION (green is the new digital, and the circular is becoming the only economy) and REFORMATION (i.e. switching from a focus on GDP, profit and growth to the future-fit paradigm of People Planet Purpose and Prosperity) Don't ask what technology CAN do, but what it SHOULD do? What kind of future do we want? And what defines a 'good future' (check out my next film on this topic, coming up next week)? 2030 could be heaven or it could be hell - the choice is ours!
