Audio-only versions of Futurist Gerd Leonhard's keynotes

The Next 10 Years: Climate Change, AI, and the Future of Business and Economics In this presentation, I dive into the major changes and developments I anticipate over the next decade. Two monumental waves impacting our future are #climatechange which poses urgent challenges but also presents unprecedented business opportunities in green technology; and the rise of #artificialintelligence , transforming industries and everyday life. I present breakthrough innovations in battery technology and recycling, discuss the creation of new jobs in AI / IA, and the significant investments directed towards climate technology. The inevitable shift away from fossil fuels and the role of AI in automating routine tasks are highlighted. It's not the end of work, it's the end of routines. The talk also touches on the importance of foresight, the challenges of global collaboration, and the potential of emerging technologies like quantum computing and genetic engineering. The convergence of the digital, sustainability, and purpose revolutions is emphasized, along with the moral and ethical considerations of these developments. Ultimately, the discussion focuses on the need for sustainable capitalism, the changing job market, and the importance of independent human knowledge in a rapidly evolving world.

In this special edit of a recent interview with Ana Rita Guerra, I discuss the potential arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI) within five to seven years, while highlighting the benefits of intelligent assistance for practical tasks such as emissions control, protein folding, and translation, which can significantly boost efficiency and economic impact. However, I express concern about the societal and policy challenges posed by AGI, including over-dependence, disinformation, and job displacement. Drawing comparisons to the development of nuclear technology, I advocate for an AGI non-proliferation agreement and regulation to ensure responsible use of AGI. I conclude with cautious optimism for technological solutions to global issues but express pessimism about achieving the necessary global collaboration.

This is the full version of my special livestreamed event on Artificial General Intelligence / AGI on July 18 and 19, 2024 You can watch it on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3dRQ7QZ_wc Watch the edited (Q&A) version with @LondonFuturists David Wood on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYyTIky2MLc&t=0s In this special livestreamed event I outlined my arguments that while IA (Intelligent Assistance) and some forms of narrow AI may well be quite beneficial to humanity, the idea of building AGIs, i.e., 'generally intelligent digital entities' (as set forth by Sam Altman / #openai and others) represents an existential risk that IMHO should not be undertaken or self-governed by private enterprises, multinational corporations or venture-capital funded startups. I believe we need an AGI-Non-Proliferation-Agreement. I outline what the difference between IA/AI and AGI or ASI (superintelligence) is, why it matters and how we could go about it. IA /AI yes *but with clear rules, standards, and guardrails. AGI: NO, unless we're all on the same page. Who will be Mission Control for humanity?

This is an edited version of our livestream Q&A sessions with my guest David Wood on July 18 and 19, 2024. @LondonFuturists ' David Wood joined me as special guest on this live-show. Thank you! You can also watch it on my YouTube channel here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYyTIky2MLc or the whole thing here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3dRQ7QZ_wc In this special livestream event, I outlined my arguments that while IA (Intelligent Assistance) and some forms of narrow AI may well be quite beneficial to humanity, the idea of building AGIs i.e. 'generally intelligent digital entities' (as set forth by Sam Altman / #openai and others) represents an existential risk that imho should not be undertaken or self-governed by private enterprises, multinational corporations or venture-capital funded startups. So: IA /AI yes *but with clear rules, standards, and guardrails. AGI: NO, unless we're all on the same page. l explain why I believe we need an AGI-Non-Proliferation-Agreement, what the difference between IA/AI and AGI or ASI (superintelligence) is, why it matters and how we could go about it.

This is my entire keynote at MODEX 2024 in Atlanta https://www.modexshow.com/ Thanks to @poweredbymhi and MODEX for making the video available - you can watch it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQXaahnX1Qc As we step into a future powered by #artificialintelligence we find ourselves at a crossroads. In this talk, I explain that the key to harnessing the full potential of AI isn't in replicating human consciousness (aka achieving GI) but in using it as a powerful tool to enhance our capabilities, improve efficiency, and innovate. It's competence, not consciousness. AI is already transforming most industries via predictive analytics, automation and over #cognification. Yet, with this great power comes great responsibility. We must safeguard our data, address AI biases, and ensure its ethical use to protect what makes us human. Contrary to the widespread fears of job displacement, history shows that new technology usually creates new opportunities and enriches human work. Moreover, tackling challenges like climate change requires both technological solutions and human empathy. AI offers innovative ways to manage resources and foster sustainable practices, paving the way for a greener future. In the realm of supply chain management, AI's capabilities are game-changers, offering efficiency and insight that drive smarter, data-driven decisions. This collaboration between humans and AI isn't about competition but about partnership and progress, guided by ethical principles and by wise policies. The future we're moving towards is one where AI supports our endeavors, enhancing our lives and work without replacing the unique qualities that define us. By embracing AI thoughtfully, we can build a future that's not just technologically advanced but also humane and inclusive.

In this hard-hitting presentation at IBM's Tech Recognition event in Dubai, March 5 & 6, 2024, I discuss the critical importance of optimism about the future, not because we have fewer problems, but because our enhanced capabilities to solve them through technology AND the right policies and ethical frameworks. I delve into the potential and perils of technological advancements like artificial intelligence, and biotechnology, underscoring the necessity of contemplating their ethical implications and societal impacts.

Last week, I was interviewed for the PITCH: Brand&Content show that aired on @CNNPortugal on January 6, 2024, produced by @Pitch-brand-and-content (great job, btw). Thanks to Creart.pt for inviting me to be a part of this show. You can watch it on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBKKjUu-dsM 00:22 The Three Revolutions: Digital, Green, and Human (Pink/Purple) 01:04 The Role of Europe in Leading into The Good Future 01:11 The Dangers of #artificialintelligence and the Need for Containment 02:19 The Power of Trust and Collaboration in Shaping the Future 04:17 The Emergence of a Better Future: Technology, Regulation, and Happiness This year marks a pivotal moment for humanity as we face the convergence of three monumental revolutions: The digital revolution (big blue) has become almost synonymous with artificial intelligence, driving profound transformations across all aspects of our lives. It could be heaven or it could be hell. Simultaneously, the green, #sustainability revolution will gain dramatic momentum in 2024 as societies move decisively towards sustainability, deeply circular practices, and a much more profound commitment to the environment. No company can afford to ignore this global shift towards greener thinking. Lastly, the third revolution, “Big Pink” (better ...Big Purple) underscores the importance of human agency and purpose. IMHO, #europe stands poised to lead the charge in embracing sustainability and prioritizing the existential importance of human intelligence and agency. In #2024, the central question before us is whether we really should sacrifice our humanity, skills, #freewill and human agency for the elusive allure of efficiency and rapid technological progress... I'll have a few things to say about that:))

I think this is one of my best talks, yet - on artificial intelligence and the future of business, commerce and society, also touching on my key the good future people planet purpose prosperity memes. A powerful talk on the impact and future of artificial intelligence, discussing the evolution and the potential of AI, the risk of #artificialgeneralintelligence - surpassing human intelligence, and the need for regulatory bodies overseeing the development and application of AGI. He emphasizes the necessity to keep humanity at the forefront of all AI-related decisions and warns about the implications of becoming too reliant on technology. Gerd also shares his thoughts about a prosperous future, which can be achieved if technology serves to complement, not replace, human capabilities.

This is season 2, episode #5 of The World by 2030 presented by me and fellow futurist Anton Musgrave (futureworld.org), on the future of work, jobs, training, education and the impact of artificial intelligence. I've said in the past, “If you work like a robot, a robot will take your job” and “If your job is 80% routine, then you're in trouble"... But imagine if the whole world is “smart”? In episode 5 of season 2, Anton and I explore what the future of work, jobs, training, education and the impact of artificial intelligence might look like by 2030. Anton asks: how do we play with these (AI) things and understand their potential and capabilities and then, then add another layer of deep human insight and value to the equation?

How do we make sure that all technology results in collective human flourishing? You can watch the edited version on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhHsaz8hxmA&t=15s

LookUpNow (LuN) premiered on August 21, 2023 and is a riveting 24-minute film featuring #Futurist Gerd Leonhard as host, guide and narrator. Directed and co-written by Emmy-award winning producer Christopher Sean Nolan. It is the first episode in a series of films on AI and the future of humanity currently being developed by Gerd and Chris. For ENG, ES and PT captions, click on the CAPTIONS button:) In the film, Gerd sets forth that we should embrace Artificial Intelligence and harness its positive potentials while at the same time we must urgently consider and address its negative side-effects and unintended externalities. We must use AI as a powerful tool but not let it become a purpose on its own. AI should be used to help us to bring about what Gerd calls #thegoodfuture, not to replace humans, or to whittle away what makes us human, or to enable a synthetic, machine-led society. LuN explains why we should welcome smart machines but not seek to build generally intelligent artificial entities (AGIs) – because with digital intelligences, it's competence that matters, not consciousness (quoting Professor Stuart Russell).

European Futurist Gerd Leonhard often compares the current times to the turbulent years between 1968 and 1973, when the world last underwent a series of seismic shifts in the way things were done. During this period, not only was there a sense of instability, but also one of liberation, and ultimately, progress. It was a time when 'everything changed'. Gerd proposes that we are entering a similar era, today. American Futurist Peter Leyden similarly sees the coming decade as marking a rare juncture in history, bringing an unusual number of fundamental system changes that will require a series of paradigm shifts in how the world will now work. He sees these system changes as largely positive and adding up to what he calls The Great Progression that will play out over the next 25 years. For this special event, Gerd and Peter are teaming up to look closer at a dozen of the most important paradigm shifts of the 2020s that everyone should better understand.

I was invited to contribute 2 short videos to the 4th World Science and Technology Development in Chengdu, China, virtually, on Nov. 27, 2023. In my short talks, I addressed the need for a new economic logic, i.e. going beyond GDP, towards #peopleplanetpurposeprosperity and a global consciousness. I also commented on one of my key memes, #theddr : digitisation, #decarbonization and reformation. Have a look and read Gerd Leonhard's DDR (Digitization, Decarbonisation and Reformation)at: https://www.theddr.world/

This is a short excerpt from my keynote 'The next 10 years' at ABRAS 2022 in Campinas / Brazil, see https://convencao.abras.com.br/ Green is the new digital. The future is very likely to be vegetarian. Big Blue (tech) + Big Green is the ticket to the future. Vertical farming & cultured meat? Ecosystems not Ego systems. Thanks to ABRAS for inviting me and for making this video available. https://www.youtube.com/@UC2FVFNLcFNtfWAzDGHjFS8A Check out my interview (dubbed in Portuguese) here https://youtu.be/oS-LUeuRN8M

We received a lot of feedback about the 'lousy 2030' part being a bit too long and dystopian, so we figured we'd also offer a new edit that features only the good 2030 aka #thegoodfuture :) I hope you enjoy this version; if so, please be sure to subscribe and share it widely! This is a special new edit of my recent film Twice Upon a Time see https://www.futuristgerd.com/sharing/twiceuponatime/ and https://youtu.be/BanqTNbTotU This film is a passionate call for action to everyone - we must act now to ensure the good future. Our attitude contains our future, and the choices we make today create our future. We are to be architects of the future - not its victims (Buckminster Fuller).

A quick take looking forward to 2023, presenting my arguments on why we may, in 2023, arrive at a similar pivot point than we were in 1968. I was only 7 years old then, but I've always been fascinated with this time period and all the change it brought across every sector of our lives: music, civil rights, politics, social capitalism in Europe... and much more First, watch this short clip. Then watch my new film TWICE UPON A TIME (depicting both a lousy #2030 and then a good 2030): https://youtu.be/BanqTNbTotU or the new 'good only' edit at https://youtu.be/d8dn9P6zNgw.

Permachange is here: The 11 game changers such as big data, IoT, VR/MR the metaverse and of course artificial intelligence are all becoming exponentially powerful, and these 4 waves are washing over us: COVID-19 (and other pandemics), the recession, climate change and soon, singularity. The next 10 years will bring more change than the next 100 years - and most of it will be positive IF we can collaborate and make the right decisions, today. We will have all the tools, but we need to work on our TELOS (purpose). You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNHVcpRaU3w During this talk (which had a somewhat more intimate vibe than many of the large events I speak at), I also explain why I think that 2023 may well be like 1968 - a major shift in how we look at the world. This was a special dinner event for Baringa's clients and leaders, in London, on Nov 23, 2022. More details about Baringa here https://www.baringa.com/en/ - and thanks for inviting me, and for making this video available.

We urgently need to reboot education to become more future-fit, across the board because The Future is: Awesome humans on-top of amazing technology, not just STEM but also HECI (humanity, ethics, creativity, and imagination). Science fiction is increasingly become science fact, and smart machines are starting to have 'knowledge', fueled by machine learning and #artificialintelligence - and that means "if you work/learn like a robot, a robot will take your job”. Business as usual is dead, due to the 11 game-changers and the #megashifts see www.megashifts.digital that are accelerating all around us. And that means that 'work as usual' is dead or dying, as well - and that goes for Education! Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en4e3AaLZsY In line with the New European Bauhaus spirit, the #eTwinning Annual Conference 2022 supported the participants to imagine an education setting which is beautiful and sustainable. Participants were encouraged to re-think the way teachers and students teach, learn, and “live” together at school.

Big Tech Big Green Big Human In this keynote, I outline why this development is a good thing, why tourism might well be heading towards a new albeit strange kind of ‘golden era' - and how to get ready for what's coming, and better yet, how to shape the future and make the right choices today. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pubmpoie3eo The next 10 years will bring more change than the previous 100 years – and the doors to the future of tourism and travel are not closing; they are only just opening! The future is better than we think. Personal connections, experiences and real-life engagement is what makes us human, and while we will certainly connect virtually in many new, exciting and CO2-saving ways, these experiences will develop in a parallel not a substitutional way. However; how, why, when and where we travel will change completely in the next decade, impacted by the 3 Future Principles: Holistic, Circular (Sustainable) and Human.

The next 10 years will bring more change than the previous 100 years - a decade of utter transformation is ahead of us. What we do in the next 10 years is likely to set course for the future of humanity, period. Along with the ongoing digital revolution we are now in the midst of the sustainable (green) revolution, and soon to be joined by the human revolution (the convergence of biology and technology). Green is the new digital, and #sustainable is becoming the new profitable. As we leap further into the exponential age, the future is clearly no longer an extension of the present, and it's no longer about 'tomorrow', either - the future is a mindset, and it's already here. This is a recording of my entire keynote @fortinet Convergence 2022 in Monaco, August 25, 2022, on the next 10 years and what we can expect in technology, business, society and of course #sustainability.

The latest episode in my #goodfutureproject series of conversations, with special guest Mathias Sundin CEO of Warp News https://twitter.com/mathiassundin. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/WNQIJqaY154 Mathias runs Warp News https://www.warpnews.org/ If someone said, "You are worthless" several times a day, how would it affect you? It would probably make you feel pretty lousy. Now think of the news media that you and everyone else consumes. How do the constant negative headlines impact your perception of reality? Most people have a pessimistic view of the future and of new technologies. One important reason is the negative bias in news media. We believe that humanity's best days are ahead and that new technologies and science will get us there. Warp News helps balance the negative headlines with fact-based optimistic news about technology, science and human progress.

This is a short excerpt from my recent keynote at AXPO Talent day Sept 6 2022 in Baden, Switzerland. We are in the midst of 3 revolutions, all happening at the same time: digital (everything connected and smart), #sustainable (everything green, circular - the end of the fossil fuel economy), and human (the potential of changing who (what) we are. Genetics, longevity etc -- a very big topic but a bit less front-of-mind than the other 2, at this point) - and of course what I call the human renaissance, see https://youtu.be/Qy3PfHBZuxk The END OF ROUTINE is near... yet: anything that cannot be digitized or automated will become much more valuable.
