How will Artificial Intelligence (AI) transform the food industry? Experts say it's already having an effect - whether through self-service checkouts or the algorithms that determine which recipes you see online or the way supermarkets are using it to predict the next big food trend.Jaega Wise heads to the Waitrose Headquarters in Berkshire to find out how their product development team is using AI to inform which ingredients they stock on the shelves. She also talks to the firm Tastewise which makes software that calculates food trends by analysing social media and online menus.A restaurant in Glasgow is already using embodied AI in the form of robots which serve their customers. Jaega witnesses the robots in action and finds diners are divided over their use. She also talks to consumer affairs journalist Harry Wallop about how supermarkets use our data and the futurist Tracey Follows who gives us her take on what might happen next in the world of AI. Jaega also hears the tipped top food trends for 2025. Presented by Jaega Wise Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Robin Markwell
There's a lot of speculation about how we'll be working and getting paid in the future – think 2040 and beyond. While all those dystopian TV shows and movies might help you to imagine what it could be like, we are already getting glimpses of the future in our daily lives. This is thanks to our increased reliance on automation and, of course, the more recent surge in our use of generative artificial intelligence. One recent report on the future of work has found that traditional salaries will no longer exist – that's right, forget the frustration of waiting for your monthly salary transfer. Instead, employees can look forward to real-time payments and even instant bonuses for a job well done. But what else is in store for workers in the future? Host Felicity Glover talks to Tracey Follows, a UK-based futurist who discusses her latest research on the work of the future.
DESCRIPTION Tracey Follows, the author and podcaster of The Future of You, explains how your digital identity will evolve. Custodial or self-sovereign? Centralized or Web3?

'Who am I?' is one of the most fundamental questions of all. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to answer as technology enables us to negotiate and create many different versions of ourselves. In this episode of The Small Print, Bronwyn speaks to fellow futurist Tracey Follows about her book “The Future of You: Can Your Identity Survive 21st-Century Technology?” Together they discuss the tension between the collective and the individual, and how our personal freedoms and potential will be transformed over the coming decades. In our digital, data-driven world, Facebook gets a say in verifying who we are, science can alter our biology, and advances in AI are revolutionizing not only how we interact online but with the physical world around us. From health passports and increased surveillance to bio-hacking and relationships with machines, we need to understand these vital issues today so that we might design the future of our identity tomorrow. --- Bronwyn Williams is a futurist, economist, trend analyst and host of The Small Print.

Tracey looks for the clues to the future. She argues for the value in talking to a wide range of people about their thoughts and expectations about the future. She believes that, as a society, we have entered the phase of post literacy.

The episode features an interview with Tracey Follows who is a professional futurist. Since the future is what the podcast is supposed to cover, it was fantastic to have Tracey on the show. Tracey started her career in advertising and then moved client-side before taking on senior strategy roles at VCCP and JWT. Most recently she has been working as a futurist and running her own consultancy. Tracey has just authored a new book that explores the future of the individual in the technological age. The book explores the themes of identity, the relationship between man and machine. It's basically a guide to help people understand how to protect their autonomy when the world around them is transforming. From her perspective, we need to be armed with the knowledge to understand the personal and societal implications of bio-hacking, mind-clones, and even more contemporary, health passports.
They say good things come in threes and they're obviously right – season three of the IAB podcast kicks off with three fabulous guests in the form of futurist Tracey Follows, IAB UK chairman Richard Eyre and Buzzfeed's Head of Buzz Remee Patel (who possibly has the best job title in existence).From space travel to the tech due a comeback, Tracey chats to host James Chandler about what digital innovations will take off in the 2020s. Meanwhile, following our Digital Trust Forum last month, the t-word is on the agenda with Richard as he shares his wisdom on how we can rebuild it. Finally, Remee slides into our DMs for some gentle interrogation on quizzes, viral content and bacon naans – of course.Special prizes for spotting the moment in the week that James' voice altogether failed him...

the third outing of the podcast looks at today's advertising and advertising issues and where relevant references them against the book 98% Pure Potato written by John Griffiths and Tracey Follows. This week it is that controversial Gillette campaign. We consider 6 levels at which the campaign might be working before settling on Irritation being the most likely and effective way of understanding how it works.
“To predict the future you need to go twice as far back as you want to go forward” - this quote is from Tracey Follows the Founder of Futuremade on this week’s Shiny New Object podcast. This interview is a whistle-stop tour of Tracey’s approach to ‘futuring’ and how brands should “execute on foresight not insight.” Because by the time you’ve acted on an insight - it’s probably too late to be useful. She teaches her clients that the most dangerous things aren’t the things they don’t know - but misunderstanding the things they do know. And that we should teach our children how to carry out their life’s mission by “putting Futures on the national curriculum in the same way History is.” You may disagree with Tracey but she declares “It’s not important what you think of me, it’s what I think of you”.

Natalie Campbell hosts a live Future Visions panel discussion on Artificial Intelligence and the future of work from THECUBE London. Following on from the first series of Future Visions we asked you, the listeners, to tell us what you wanted us to focus on next. The number of responses we received was overwhelming, with the vast majority keen to understand how the rise of AI would impact our lives. To help us answer this question we invited three of the stars of the first series to share their thoughts; Araceli Camargo (cognitive neuroscientist, lab director at The Centric Lab and co-founder of TheCUBE London), Ben Hammersley (British internet technologist, journalist, author, broadcaster and futurist) and Tracey Follows (award-winning futurist and regular commentator on the future of AI, gender, work and culture).

Author Tracey tells us what she thought when John suggested they write a book together, the process of writing it and what advice she would give to anybody else daft enough to want to write a book. Oh and here's a link to her podcast for Richard Branson's Future Visions Project: https://www.virgin.com/entrepreneur/can-we-use-artificial-intelligence-fight-crime-predicatively
Natalie Campbell introduces award-winning futurist Tracey Follows, who believes artificial intelligence could be a ruling force in the next 20 years. But in a world where automation is rife, can we trust algorithms to keep us safe and police our streets? To discuss the opportunity and the ethics, they are joined by data scientist Cathy O’Neil (Weapons of Math Destruction), cybercrime expert Emily Orton (Darktrace), and hacking guru Jennifer Arcuri (Hacker House).

Our January episode features Tracey Follows, chief strategy and innovation officer at the Future Laboratory and founder of AnyDayNow, and Marketing’s features editor Rebecca Coleman. The trio delve into the idea of post-perfection in 2016, where consumers increasingly post heightened versions of their lives on social media, but come to expect more sincerity from their brands. They also discuss post-privacy, where data as payment for services rendered has become the expectation rather than choice.
