New podcast: Gerd Leonhard and Peter Van on Chapter 3 of “Technology vs Humanity: The Megashifts”

A good talk! New podcast on the key themes set forth my book Technology vs Humanity, chapter 3, entitled The Megashifts”. The Megashifts include digitisation, automation, datafication, virtualisation, robotisation, and others (for a total of 10), and understanding them is the ticket to future success. This includes questions such as “What are Key Human Indicators?” and “What is real and what is not?” The bottom line: as we head into exponential change, we must also collaborate to address ethics, culture, and values. Otherwise, it is certain that technology will gradually then suddenly become the purpose of our lives, rather than the tool to discover the purpose.

For countless individuals and organizations that intelligence is called Gerd Leonhard. View all posts by Gerd Leonhard
