When every device with all its sensors and inbuilt intelligence has the capability to talk to all the other devices in it’s surrounding we will have an immense amount of contextual information. Our technology will know everything about us: which room you’re in, who you are with, where your car is, where your clothes are, whether your refrigerator is empty or not. What to do with all this information?
The Internet of Things
What if the trillion sensors and many other devices start to talk to each other and share information with you?
AI Controlled Networks
What if artificial intelligence controls and manages our communication networks?
Just like a living organism developed more and more senses and nerve systems to increase survival rates, humanity is developing more and more sensors and data networks to get a more accurate perception of the world we live in. In the future, we will have trillions of connected sensors that give us very advanced and sensitive ‘senses’. A lot of these ‘smart sensors’ are going to be talking to each other, and I believe that this will create a kind of ‘ultimate knowledge’, where everything will be registered and talking to everything else. With the right algorithms and a positive intent we can do a huge amount of good with all that data. Good for our own health and the health of the living spaces we share with billions of other people.
Another big trend that is going on right now is that people are taking control of the internet again. Large corporations and governments may own the internet right now, but the question is this: for how long can that be sustained? Eventually what we’ll also see is the blockchain technology being introduced for more and more information sources. What the blockchain basically does is to re-distribute the power of the network from the power of the few (those in control of the network itself) to the power of many. With the introduction of blockchain technology people will own their own data again and decide with who they want to share that data. Technology will enable normal people to set up their own long lange peer to peer data networks, large centralised internet service providers will be a thing of the past.
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.
