September has flown by in a whirlwind of activity! The fascination and desire to grasp the essence of AI, including its potential and what it truly signifies, is seeing an undying surge. YET – two recurring misconceptions never fail to emerge. First up, is the notion that ‘AI isn’t creative.’ While it might hold a […]
Picture a group of students in a science class, working together on an experiment to learn something new. Nowadays, AI-powered tools can help them analyse data and make sense of it all much quicker. Instead of calling it ‘cheating,’ let’s change how we teach and set tasks to keep up with the times. Let’s focus […]
‘How come time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like a banana?‘ – It’s a fun question used in linguistics, but also as part of some Turing tests to establish if machines exhibit intelligent behaviour. Computer scientists aren’t aligned about when machines could reach human-level intelligence. Some forecast 2030, others, 2100. It’ll only be […]
In ‘The Big 21st Century Trends‘, we explore the big technologies and challenges facing our species. Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology, Future of Work and Climate Change. What should audiences be aware of and how can they live harmoniously and productively in a dramatically changing world? Together, we look at the foundational technology layers that are enabling […]
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be introducing my new series of keynote presentations. They focus on the areas I believe are most significant for the 21st Century. The series explores Future of Work, Big Trends, Machines Vs Humans, Post-Pandemic Life, Future of Leadership, and a brief mention of bespoke produced services too. If you’re […]
In recent weeks, I’ve been working to finish a first draft of a second book ‘The Roaring 2020s: How to be Future Ready‘. This week is all about the impact of Automation on work. The corporate world is awash with the AI Zeitgeist ‘Robotic Process Automation‘, most of which you can’t see as it’s about […]
Artificial Intelligence, commonly referred to as ‘AI’ is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines. Whilst an increasingly familiar term, its roots lie with Alan Turing. He led the team which famously cracked the ‘Enigma’ code machine used by Nazis during World War 2 to pass secret communications. In 1950, he created what has […]
The Future of Work is a multi-faceted subject. One that’s ripe for multiple books, not just a few short articles. I’d like to tackle the topic here from just a couple of angles. First, the ways in which people are working. Second, the ways in which automation and robotics will augment and sometimes replace people […]
