New short film: Futurist Gerd Leonhard on the Internet of Things – a new Meta-Intelligence and the Global Brain – Technology vs Humanity: the coming clash of man and machine

Just went live on my Youtube channel – we have another 5 short films like this, coming up very soon!

This is #1 in a new series of short videos on the most essential topics in my work: technology versus humanity (check out my book, here), the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and the future of business and society. Most topics in my book www.techvshuman.com are also addressed in these short films, to be released weekly.
