It’s interesting to see just how fast practical technology is moving in the machine learning space. For example the rise of the intelligent virtual assistants. The new assistants from companies including Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Viv, and many more are getting exponentially better at understanding human language and interacting with us in an increasingly natural way. What kind of jobs will they automate in the next few years?
It won’t be long, two to three years is my educated guess, before we will be using these virtual assistants to do all kinds of tasks for us. Fancy a night out? You will probably be able to ask your virtual butler to arrange a taxi, book the table of your favourite restaurant and buy your tickets to the movie. It’s looking increasingly likely that your personal money will be run through one of these companies, and the costs of all of those things will be deducted from the budget that you give them. The tech company that wins this race is likely to get a tiny slice of a very big pie of your spending in the future. We already have Google Assistant, Amazon’s Alexa, and speech recognition software becoming almost as accurate as a human listener.
After we mastered machine learning systems and developed many focused/narrow intelligence applications (intelligent tools for specific tasks), we realised that we could connect and combine these narrow intelligences into more general intelligent applications. These combined intelligences work like the search engines of today (Google and Bing). Search engines were indexing webpages with information so they were able to redirect people with questions to specific website. The general intelligences of today work in a similar way, and have developed them into artificial identities. These intelligence engines are indexing intelligence and themselves tap into many modular narrow intelligence solutions and combine them into one general intelligent identity. So instead of just having a ‘search engine’ for information we have more of an ‘intelligence engine’ that taps into available, standardised sources of intelligence.
Christian is a futurist who speaks about the impact of exponential technology on people and organizations. He tailors his presentations to your audience's specific industries and needs.
Our world is changing at an exponential rate! A big tidal wave of digital transformation and disruption is coming at us fast. Many organizations see this wave as a threat and experience stress, but there are also organizations that just see this wave as an opportunity.
Embracing the advancements of technology and AI can enhance our humanity. We can focus on developing our unique talents and skills by automating mundane tasks and freeing up our time. As humans, we can adapt and learn, allowing us to evolve and stay relevant in a rapidly changing world constantly.
Organizations will need to be more fluid, dynamic, and adaptable: the ability to change and adjust in response to new situations and environments. We are on the cusp of a new era of organizations, ones that are more fluid and agile and which behave like swarms we see in nature.
In the future, 3D printing and generative design will allow for products to be designed in a more decentralized manner, and production will take place closer to the customer and fully on-demand. 3D printing technology will also allow for more customization and personalization of products.
The agricultural industry is ripe for disruption. Robotics, AI, and IoT are all technologies that have the potential to radically transform the way we grow food. In combination with vertical farming, these technologies could increase the efficiency and quality of agricultural products.
A human-centered society is one that puts people first and where technology is used to unite and empower people. It is a society that values biological life and dignity above all else. It is a society that recognizes the importance of human relationships and works to strengthen them. In a human-centered society, all members of the community are valued and treated with respect.
It's hard to believe, but the way we experience and buy products is changing. With the advent of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (Ai) and augmented reality (AR) and 3D printing, eCommerce and traditional retail are merging into one single experience.
The future of healthcare is here. New technologies like AI, IoT, big data, and smart sensors make it possible to become the CEO of your own health. Imagine that your phone can listen to your voice and AI algorithms can detect small nuances in the tone of your voice that indicate specific diseases.
