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.

Futurist Gerd Leonhard gives some insights into future trends like proactive healthcare, the importance of sustainability, and AI in the workforce.

Often, we think the future is far away, but leading futurist and humanist Gerd Leonhard says the future is already here, and it's better than we think.As technology rapidly advances and may exceed human capabilities, Gerd highlights the necessity for a harmonious balance between technology and human values.

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).

For the Summer of 2023, a dozen futurists talk about what life will be like for humans in 30 to 50 years. Each guest is asked to paint a picture of the changes that we will experience between now and 2053 or 2073. Then they are asked what mistakes we are making today that the people of 2073 will look back at in disbelief. The goal of these episodes is to spark the imagination of listeners about the future we have the ability to create. In this episode, Gerd Leonhard paints a picture life in 2053 with a focus on how humans have the power to create lives enhanced by food, water, and energy abundance. He calls this “The Good Future.” He reminds us that the future is not about what is possible…it is about what we want. Among the topics Gerd discusses are uploading our brains to the internet, quantum computing, nuclear fusion, climate change and the technologies that will be created to manage it, and how movements will drive politicians to make the changes necessary to enable this good future to happen. Gerd finishes the interview with a discussion about what humans are doing today, including our use of fossil fuels, the way work is currently structured, and the importance of nation states, that the people of 2073 will look back at in disbelief. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, Gerd is one of the world's leading futurists and the author of Technology vs Humanity: The Coming Clash Between Man and Machine. With the motto “People, Planet, Purpose, and Prosperity,” Gerd is an outspoken critic of unregulated exponential technologies. He uses his influence and platform to help people “imagine and create a better tomorrow” and was named one of Wired UK's 100 Most Influential Europeans in 2015.

Advancements in technology to date and the pace of change in the future is far beyond the evolutionary speed of human development. We are building smart cities, smart homes, smart offices but now we, the people, need to be smarter in using technology. How tech is built and how we use it as humans has never been more important. In this episode of The Next Five, we look at the relationship between technology and us, how our automated future and the interactions we have with tools, including AI, will shape humanity. Steve Wood, SVP of Product and Platform at Slack, joins us to show how we can empower people with tech. Nathalie Nahai, international speaker and best-selling author, discusses the need to foster better human connections and relationships with others during this fast paced technological future. Gerd Leonhard, futurist, humanist and CEO of the Futures Agency, extols the virtues of machines that remain competent and don't become conscious.

This week our guest is futurist and speaker, Gerd Leonhard, who authored the 2016 book Technology vs Humanity: The Coming Clash Between Man and Machine.  In this episode, we explore the ideas Gerd puts forth in his book, with a heavy emphasis on how the humanities are a necessary part of what he calls a "Good Future.” This takes us on a tour of the failings of transhumanism, the need to update our regulatory systems, questions around our economic models, the impact of culture and storytelling on how we shape our future, and much more.

In this episode, futurist Gerd Leonhard, founder of The Futures Agency, joins host Scott Maberry to discuss the future, including the role of futurism in corporate strategy, and how multinational companies should be planning for the “good future.”   What We Discussed in This Episode: What are the tools for futurism, and how do they apply to running a global business? Why is it accurate to say “the future is now?" How did the Good Future Project come about? What is it? What are some of the mindsets or impediments that prevent good insight into the future? What can be done to reduce or mitigate the fear mindset? What are the links between your first profession, music, and your current calling as a futurist? What's the role of futurism in thinking about global trade, globalization, and the green revolution? For large multinational companies, how should the C-suite be planning for the future we're going to experience?   About Gerd Leonhard  Gerd Leonhard is a globally recognized and top-rated futurist, humanist, author, film producer, and TV host. Pursuing the concept of "practical wisdom," he forgoes the all-too-common techno-optimism in favor of progressive humanism, balancing exponential technological progress with human needs. Gerd zeroes in on what the future holds for humanity and how we will create the future we want (rather than just the one we could have). A musician by origin and a digital music entrepreneur in the 1990s, Gerd is the author of five books, including the bestseller The Future of Music and his latest work, Technology vs. Humanity, a ground-breaking exploration of the mega-shifts that will radically alter society, the economy, values, and even human biology.

At a time when many people find it depressingly easy to see how "bad futures" could arise, what is a credible narrative of a "good future"? That question is of central concern to our guest in this episode, Gerd Leonhard.Gerd is one of the most successful futurists on the international speaker circuit. He estimates that he has spoken to a combined audience of 2.5 million people in more than 50 countries.He left his home country of Germany in 1982 to go to the USA to study music. While he was in the US, he set up one of the first internet-based music businesses, and then he parlayed that into his current speaking career. His talks and videos are known for their engaging use of technology and design, and he prides himself on his rigorous use of research and data to back up his claims and insights.Selected follow-ups:https://www.futuristgerd.com/https://www.futuristgerd.com/sharing/thegoodfuturefilm/Topics in this conversation include:*) The need for a positive antidote to all the negative visions of the future that are often in people's minds*) People, planet, purpose, and prosperity - rather than an over-focus on profit and economic growth*) Anticipating stock markets that work differently, and with additional requirements before dividends can be paid*) A reason to be an optimist: not because we have less problems (we don't), but because we have more capacity to deal with these problems*) From "capitalism" to "progressive capitalism" (another name could be "social capitalism")*) Kevin Kelly's concept of "protopia" as a contrast to both utopia and dystopia*) Too much of a good thing can be... a bad thing*) How governments and the state interact with free markets*) Managers who try to prioritise people, planet, or purpose (rather than profits and dividends) are "whacked by the stock market"*) The example of the Montreal protocol regarding the hole in the ozone layer, when governments gave a strong direction to the chemical industry*) Some questions about people, planet, purpose, and prosperity are relatively straightforward, but others are much more contested*) Conflicting motivations within high tech firms regarding speed-to-market vs. safety*) Controlling the spread of potentially dangerous AI may be much harder than controlling the spread of nuclear weapons technology, especially as costs reduce for AI development and deployment*) Despite geopolitical tensions, different countries are already collaborating behind the scenes on matters of AGI safety*) How much "financial freedom" should the definition of a good future embrace?*) Universal Basic Income and "the Star Trek economy" as potential responses to the Economic Singularity*) Differing assessments of the role of transhumanism in the good future*) Risks when humans become overly dependent on technology*) Most modern humans can't make a fire from scratch: does that matter?*) The Carrington Event of 1859: the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history*) How views changed in the 19th century about giving anaesthetics to women to counter the (biblically mandated?) intense pains of childbirth*) Will views change in a similar way about the possibility of external wombs (ectogenesis)?*) Jamie Bartlett's concept of "the moral singularity" when humans lose the ability to take hard decisions*) Can AI provide useful advice about human-human relationships?*) Is everything truly important about humans located in our minds?Music: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration

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.

Here are the 12 shifts: The Mega-Challenge: From a focus on economic issues to a focus on climate and planet Energy: from carbon (fossil) to clean Transportation: from combustion engines to electric Politics: from conservative to progressive and inclusive Culture: from Boomer/GenX-centric to Millennial/GenZ-centric Capitalism: from shareholder to stakeholder Economics: from private sector to public sector Work: from physical and white collar to digital & virtual (new collar or no collar) Production: from industrial to biological Intelligence: from IQ to EQ, from logic to human agency Geopolitics: from countries and nations to global consciousness Medical: from sick-care to health care

In this short, off-the-cuff video with the very first details on The Good Future Project. To quote Jane Goodall "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make” More here: https://www.thegoodfutureproject.com #peopleplanetpurposeprosperity #goodfutureproject #thegoodfuture Check out our new Project YT page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVsE3gQYHLffapbpbDqjaaA or https://thegoodfutureproject.com/ The Good Future Project, initiated by Futurist Gerd Leonhard and supported by the Futures Agency, is a global, non-profit network of like-minded individuals and supporters who focus on making ‘The Good Future' (TGF) a reality. TGF's concept is based on Gerd's 2021 film ‘The Good Future' see https://youtu.be/yHC5n7G5SeI

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/

Gerd Leonhard is a keynote speaker, futurist & humanist, film maker, musician, and renowned author. He is the CEO of The Futures Agency. As one of the leading futurists worldwide, Gerd has presented at over 1500 leading conferences and events over the past 20 years in the field of digital ethics (the ethics of technology). He has an affluent experience of working extensively with the likes of Microsoft, NBC, Visa, Google, the European Commission, L'Oréal, Audi and IBM, just to name a few.Gerd Leonhard Interview Questions1. Please start by telling us a little bit about your background2. Could you share with us about your earlier career path and your motivations or inspiration? 3. I must say your film “The Good Future” is really inspiring and it makes us think a lot about the future. The natural scenes that you captured look amazing. Could you share with us your motivation behind this project?4. When we talk about the future we not only mean our own future but also for our children as well. That's when it comes to climate change, global warming, the transition to clean energy, sustainability development in general. In your opinion, what are the easiest things that we can do to contribute to a sustainable future?5. The Good Future Project is all about creating and spreading a new, positive narrative about the future and you said that we are seriously short of the will, the purpose, and the wisdom. So what is the message that you want to deliver to international companies and audiences in the world to create a correct mindset for all?6. How many members are there in the community of TGFP at the moment? What is your plan to develop this community in the future to help spread the message of a good future for all?7. What are your opinions on the connection between Technology and Humanity, i.e. digital ethics, technology regulation, the future of AI/AGI, human genome editing, longevity, transhumanism, the future of work and jobs, etc8. We all know that with the development of technology, especially AI (like the invention of Sophia the Robot), many people think that this is a threat to humanity in some ways, but everything has its pros and cons. Could you share with us your thoughts on this?9. The invention of robots and intelligent softwares somehow seem to be a threat for the future of work, I mean it can take the jobs of many people and even with higher efficiency. What is your advice for the next generations to develop themselves and adapt with the future of technology in a balanced way?  10. How much control should humans have over digital society? Do you think that we will be way too much into the online world that we may forget about the reality sometimes?11. How do you see the future of technology, especially web3 and virtual reality in the next 5-10 years?About Dinis Guarda profile and Channelshttps://www.openbusinesscouncil.orghttps://www.intelligenthq.comhttps://www.hedgethink.com/https://www.citiesabc.com/More interviews and research videos on Dinis Guarda YouTube

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.

We should be optimistic not because our problems are smaller than we thought, but because our capacity to solve them is larger than we thought” OVER THE LONG TERM, THE FUTURE IS DECIDED BY OPTIMISTS (Kevin Kelly) Watch is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB-ZNfCp8uA&t=8s We live in a Perma-Change World, and lately an increasingly pessimistic view of the future as well as strange new hopelessness seems to prevail - especially among the Gen Z & Y generations. There are many reasons for this - beyond covid19 or the Russia/Ukraine war - but one reason may also be that the narrative about the future is dominated either by Big Tech (Meta, Google, IBM, Amazon, Baidu etc) or by Hollywood (or rather "StreamyWood" i.e. Netflix et al). It seems to either involve technology saving us (while we, the non-exponential, lame humans, must then merge with it), or technology enslaving us (as in the various black-mirror type dystopias). I think this is a lousy way to look at the future, and that a more 'protopian' approach see #kevinkelly is much better suited for society, and for shaping our future. We also believe that how we look at the future is existential - as futurist Barbara Hubbard liked to say: 'As we see the future so we act; as we act so we become'.

In this fast-moving keynote at Estoril Conferences see I speak about why I believe that - despite the current woes of global warming, wars and inflation - the future is better than we think. As Kevin Kelly says 'we should be optimistic not because we have less challenges but because we have a lot more capacity to deal with them". Yet technology alone will not save us - we will need purpose and telos (wisdom). Algorithms know the logic of everything but the feeling of nothing. Too much of a good thing (technology) can be a very bad thing (#facebook aka Meta really makes the best example). In this talk, I also present my 3 tickets to the future: #digitization #decarbonization and reformation #theddr *more at https://www.theddr.world/ The Good Future is entirely feasible - we just have to make the right decisions, today. And what I call People Planet Purpose and Prosperity is where it all starts. Business as usual is dead or dying, and capitalism as we know it is unfit for the future.

Num episódio com um formato ligeiramente diferente, O Mundo a Seus Pés dá a conhecer um alemão radicado na Suíça e muito sui generis. Gerd Leonhard, entrevistado neste podcast pela jornalista Ana França, dedica-se há décadas a pensar no futuro. Atento ao progresso tecnológico, que valoriza, nem por isso é um deslumbrado.

Music is our universal language. But what happened to music when we started to write it down? And what happens next in a world of digitization and interactive technology? With Michael Spitzer, Professor of Music at The University of Liverpool and Gerd Leonhard, Keynote Speaker, Author, Futurist & Humanist, CEO of The Futures Agency, Video and Audio Podcast Host, Film Maker & Musician.

Gerd Leonhard is a German futurist, speaker and author who specializes in the debate between humanity and technology.

In this episode, Gerd Leonhard joins the show. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, Gerd is one of the world's leading futurists and the author of Technology vs Humanity: The Coming Clash Between Man and Machine. With the motto “People, Planet, Purpose, and Prosperity,” Gerd is an outspoken critic of unregulated exponential technologies. He uses his influence and platform to help people “imagine and create a better tomorrow” and was named one of Wired UK's 100 Most Influential Europeans in 2015.In this interview, Gerd points out that “the future is already here, we just haven't paid enough attention to it.” He talks about how technology is making us superhuman, that we are in the biggest shift in history as far as energy and climate are concerned, and that machines and artificial intelligence are starting to emulate humanity. In addition to sharing how he does his research to better understand the future, Gerd suggests that leaders spend an hour a day focusing on the future. He also shares his thoughts on healthcare, longevity, and the convergence of technology and biology.

O que é o OQCQ? Uma conversa sobre a importância do novo paradigma digital na sociedade e das mudanças que se avizinham com este novo mundo. Aborda temas como o passado e o futuro da internet, dos media, da educação, do jornalismo e da sociedade. Falamos de tecnologia e de pessoas. A transformação digital dá-se em quase todos os setores e traz consigo a dicotomia literacia/iliteracia digital, criando um desequilíbrio interpessoal e intersocial. Vivemos num mundo que urge por informação e conhecimento e, por isso, o papel dos media é fundamental. O constante evoluir da digitalização transformou a forma como comunicamos. Gradualmente, o Streaming substitui a Televisão Linear, o Podcast Online a Rádio Tradicional, e as Plataformas Online e Redes sociais o Jornal de papel. Estarão os media tradicionais a acompanhar a evolução digital? Será o mindset o mesmo de há 30 anos? Devem os media tentar adaptar-se às novas realidades? A forma como os media tradicionais são afetados implica a forma como o jornalismo é feito. As pessoas deixam de comprar jornais e recusam pagar para ler uma notícia online. O fenómeno das fake news e do clickbait explodiu e a urgência de educar o consumidor para questionar a informação que consome aumenta. A educação em Portugal não acompanha as necessidades do futuro digital.No ensino superior, a educação continua muito académica e desfasada com o mercado de trabalho e com a velocidade da mudança. Ou nasces na nova era com intuição tecno-digital, ou temos o professor que não sabe colocar o powerpoint em tela cheia e aumentar o som do vídeo. Situações sensíveis, delicadas e de crise, como a pandemia do Covid-19, ressentem esta iliteracia digital. Soluções como o teletrabalho e a telescola evidenciaram a falta de preparação, conhecimento, e por vezes, acesso às ferramentas. A fraca educação para a cidadania e formação geral não estimula competências básicas e é limitada pelos paradigmas do passado, tornando também limitadas as escolhas do povo. A liberdade existe em condições propícias à sua limitação. A transformação digital tornou mais fácil a divulgação de fake news: a informação é transmitida e distribuída a uma rapidez surreal. E o recetor não questiona o que lê, o que se consagra uma ameaça direta para a democracia. O monopólio digital GAFA (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple) detém a totalidade do poder digital nas suas mãos. Se a Amazon e a Apple têm grande parte das suas receitas pela venda de produtos e serviços, a Google e a Facebook obtêm-nas pela interceção dos dados do utilizador e de negócios publicitários. Finalmente, Inteligência Artificial e algoritmos de Machine Learning. Uma fórmula matemática é inserida num sistema com capacidade de desenvolver inteligência à medida que coleta dados. Desde o século passado que se produzem filmes sobre o futuro tecnológico. Esta ânsia e curiosidade sobre o desconhecido sempre foi uma característica própria dos humanos. Para onde caminhamos e para onde queremos caminhar? Utopia? Distopia? Ou…? OQCQ tem o selo incode.2030 - Este selo tem como âmbito reconhecer, distinguir e conferir notoriedade às ações que se candidatem e assinalar a ampla mobilização da sociedade em torno dos objetivos e metas do INCoDe.2030.

This is the podcast version of my entire talk at the "Steering Education - From Imagination to Impact" Conference in Riga / Latvia, on June 3, 2022 see https://www.futures2050.lv/ You can watch the video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/-p3aM9_vwr0 Some of my key messages in this video: The future is no longer an extension of the present. The future is not something that just happens to us - it is something we create. Education has to become Future-focussed: Imagination will be more important than knowledge. Our ultimate job will be... to be HUMAN. If you work like a robot, a robot will take your job. If you LEARN like a robot, you will end up working like a robot. As you see the future, so you act, as you act so you become. This is probably my most comprehensive talk on the future of education, training and work, to-date.

This is the complete podcast version of my TEDx Gateway (India) talk held on April 22, 2022, with the introduction and the q&a session hosted and moderated by my friend and fellow futurist Ralph Simon. The video is at https://youtu.be/ma5UFEham_Q. Another version featuring my usual 'keynote television' style of immersive backgrounds and animations is available on Youtube: https://youtu.be/jn-f6VEbVrg WHY AND HOW THE FUTURE IS BETTER THAN WE THINK. When we watch the news, if we tune into Netflix, Hulu or Amazon or AppleTV, or scroll through social media, it is easy to get the impression that there is nothing but bad things coming toward us. Autocratic maniacs, severe climate change disasters, geopolitical power-plays, more pandemics... and of course the robots will take our jobs, and eventually they will harvest our bodies for energy. Research shows that almost 75% of GenY/Z expect the future to be worse than the present! I believe it is imperative that we change this narrative, because 'as we see the future, so we act; as we act so we become' (Barbara Hubbard) And the fact is that there are myriads of reasons why we can be excited about the future, such as exponential scientific and technological progress that will allow us to solve our biggest practical problems such as water, food, energy and diseases within the next 2-3 decades. We must start believing in what I call 'The Good Future' so that we can make the right decisions, today, and we must continue on our path towards global collaboration and global consciousness. In this talk I outline why and how this can be achieved, and why we have every reason to be excited about the future that we create, together. The future is not something that just happens to us, the future is something that we MAKE!

In this keynote at WGS2022 I present my key insights / foresight for the next 10 years - fasten your seat-belts :) Watch the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fpkqsVbOafg and on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/714056505 Some of my key messages: The future is better than we think. We will have all the tools (science / technology) - but will we have the TELOS (the will)? Science fiction is increasingly becoming science fact. The future is already here! Covid19 was (is) a test run for climate change. Too much of a good thing can be a very bad thing (exponential technology). Technology will not solve social, human or political problems - that's a HUMAN job. Business as usual is dead or dying. We are NOT going back to 'Normal'. Green is the new digital. And soon, sustainable will be the new profitable. We are going from sick-care to HEALTH-CARE; technology and biology are converging. Education needs to switch from just-in-case to just-in-time. Watch: https://youtu.be/qBU3v5VQoTE The end of routine is not the end of human work. AI (or better IA: Intelligent Assistance) should be all about competence, not consciousness. We are going warp-drive into the future: Gradually, then Suddenly! 3 tickets to the Future: Digitisation, Decarbonisation, Reformation (see http://www.theddr.world) Related URLs and micro-sites: www.gerdsgamechangers.com https://www.goodfuture.live/ https://www.gerdtalks.com/ https://campsite.bio/pppp https://www.wyn2k.com/ Thanks for #worldgovernmentsummit 2022 in Dubai for inviting me to speak.

This is the complete recording of my keynote at Türk Eğitim Derneği's annual event https://www.ted.org.tr/ in Ankara / Turkey and https://dijitalobezite.ted.org.tr/ in ENGLISH. Visit gerd.fm/tedankaragerdmedia (Google News) for all media coverage in Turkish In this deep-dive keynote I speak about what I call "digital obesity" in my book www.techvshuman.com, and the future of education, learning and work. What skills will we need in a world where smart machines can soon take over almost any routine? Why does 'the end of routine' not mean the end of work for humans? How will we get ready for this future, and how do our curricula have to change to make sure we are not becoming 'useless humans'? I believe that our ultimate job is .... to be HUMAN and that the future is better than we think.

Gerd is a Futurist and a Humanist, a leading global Keynote Speaker (live-on-stage as well as virtually and remotely), the Author of 5 books including 'Technology & Humanity', the CEO of The Futures Agency, and was named in Wired UK's most influential people in Europe, among other accolades.

What Matters Most podcast host Paul Samuel Dolman speaks with futurist, author, and lecturer Gerd Leonhard about his new film The Good Future. The post Gerd Leonhard #975 appeared first on Paul Samuel Dolman.

Are we living in a dystopia? Futurist Gerd Leonhard joins us to discuss humanity's relationship with technology. As the Metaverse grows, what impact will virtual reality and artificial intelligence have on society? More importantly, how can we build a better future to grow and prosper together.

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!

Wir stehen auf der Schulter von Giganten. Keiner von uns lebt in einer Blase der vollkommenen Abgeschiedenheit. Wir sind konstant Einflüssen von außen aussetzt. Ich liebe Bücher, ich lese eigentlich immer mindestens zwei parallel und ich lasse mich gerne von ihnen inspirieren. In dieser Folge des Mensch-Technik Podcast stelle ich zwei Bücher vor, die sich mit dem heutigen und dem zukünftigen Verhältnis von Mensch und Technik auseinander setzen. Beide haben mich zum Denken angeregt, aus beiden habe ich viel mitgenommen. Es handelt sich um Technology vs. Humanity von Gerd Leonhard und um Homo Deus von Yuval Noah Harari. Beide lesenswert, beide wertvoll, beide verändernd.

We recorded this in April 2021 and decided to finally release this. I was covering questions such as: How did I become a Futurist and what do I actually do? Why I am optimistic about the Future What I worry about Why climate change action is such a huge challenge Why technology can be both good as well as evil Why addiction to technology is something we must look at more Why #digitalethics is existential Why I am not afraid of what's coming How I see the future of ICT (including telecoms, 5G etc) Why I think better technology regulation is needed and many more.

Tim Höfinghoff spricht mit dem Futuristen, Buchautor und Berater Gerd Leonhard. Wir reden darüber, warum so viele Menschen Zukunftsangst haben. Ausserdem geht es darum, welche Rezepte und Ideen es braucht für Mitarbeitende und Firmen, um für die nächsten Herausforderungen gewappnet zu sein. Ebenso erklärt Leonhard, welche Trends tatsächlich von Bedeutung sind und warum wir eher mit einer «good future» rechnen können und weshalb es für uns wichtig ist, hybrides Denken zu praktizieren.

The buzz: “Impossible is not a fact. It is an opinion” (Muhammad Ali).A unique clustering of inventions in the century after the U.S. Civil War improved the American and European standard of living – human well-being – more than any period before or after, with advances in everything from food and energy to health and work. Can our current innovation explosion have a similar impact despite unintended consequences? Three futurists speak. Frank Diana, TCS: “I cannot discover that anyone knows enough about anything on this earth definitely to say what is and what is not possible” (Henry Ford). Gerd Leonhard, Futurist: “In dealing with the future, it is far more important to be imaginative than to be right” (Alvin Toffler, Future Shock). Timo Elliott, SAP: “The real problem of humanity is that we have paleolithic emotions; medieval institutions; and god-like technology. And it is terrifically dangerous” (E. O. Wilson). Join us for The Innovation Explosion: Replicating a Special Century?

Welcome to episode #455 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. I have always been skeptical of individuals who proclaim themselves to be futurists. I often joke that I am a presentist. How far into the future can these people see? How far do they really look? Are they ever right? Recently, I was presenting at a private corporate event outside of San Diego, and Gerd Leonhard (the well-known futurist), was speaking after me. With a pending flight home, I could do little more than small talk with Gerd, but agreed to have a discussion about how he helps companies prepare for the inevitable. He is the co-author of The Future of Music, and the author of The End of Control, Music 2.0, Friction is Fiction, and The Future of Content. Gerd if the CEO of The Futures Agency. Enjoy the conversation... Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast - Episode #455 - Host: Mitch Joel. Running time: 46:31.
