What happens when the old logic of an age can no longer hold? In this fascinating FOBtv conversation, futurists Frank Diana and Kevin Benedict explore why today’s turbulence may be more than disruption—it may be the signal of a civilizational transition already underway. Drawing from history, systems thinking, AI-enabled foresight, and Frank’s powerful new concepts of pressures, possibility chains, pathways, and decision spaces, this discussion helps leaders move beyond trend-watching and toward active rehearsal for the future. If you want to understand how forces across technology, society, economics, geopolitics, philosophy, science, and the environment are converging—and what leaders can do before the future defines them—this is a conversation worth watching and sharing.

In this episode of FOBtv, I speak with SugarCRM CEO, David Roberts, to explore a profound shift already underway in business: the transformation of CRM systems from passive record-keepers into intelligent, decision-guiding partners. What happens when your CRM doesn’t just store what customers did and say—but actively shapes what you should do next? This conversation takes you inside that future, where AI collapses time between signal and action, where sales strategies evolve in real time, and where human judgment must work alongside machine intelligence.

Most people think about AI when robots are mentioned, but a significant bottleneck to progress in robotics has always been the muscle. For a century, heavy industry has been shackled to leaky, inefficient, analog hydraulics—until now. Join me as I sit down with Hiten Sonpal, CEO of RISE Robotics, the company that just broke a Guinness World Record for the world’s strongest robotic arm. We’re discussing how their "Beltdraulic" technology is delivering a 90% efficiency leap, effectively "electrifying" the heavy-duty world and providing the digital precision that AI-driven machines need to operate autonomously. If you want to know how the physical world will actually be built in 2030, you cannot afford to miss this.

For decades, we’ve used technology to manage hospitals; now, we are using it to redesign humanity’s relationship with health. Join futurist Kevin Benedict and Suhas Uliyar, former SVP at Oracle Health, for a deep dive into the tectonic shifts occurring at the intersection of AI, robotics, and clinical care. We aren't just talking about automation—we’re exploring the high-stakes reality of accountability in an AI-driven system and the "underestimated" developments that will fundamentally alter the patient experience over the next decade. From robotic surgery to the delicate balance of the human-machine division of labor, this episode of FOBtv is a masterclass on the forces shaping the future of life itself.

In this episode of FOBtv, Kevin Benedict sits down with Ved Sen, Head of Innovation for UK & Ireland at Tata Consultancy Services, to explore how artificial intelligence, automation, and intelligent systems are reshaping the future of healthcare. Their conversation moves beyond buzzwords to examine how AI could enhance clinician judgment, enable precision and personalized medicine, and support patients through continuous monitoring using wearables, sensors, and digital twins. They also discuss the emerging role of AI agents and robotics in care delivery, and the deeper systemic questions behind healthcare transformation—who benefits financially when automation succeeds, and how healthcare systems must evolve to fully realize these innovations. If medicine is shifting from episodic treatment to intelligent, always-on health systems, this discussion offers a glimpse into what that future may look like.

What makes a society truly flourish—and can happiness actually be designed? In this fascinating episode of FOBtv, futurist and TCS lecturer Kevin Benedict sits down with Elina Kiiski Kataja of the Finnish Innovation Fund, Sitra, to explore the deeper architecture behind Finland’s remarkable success as the world’s happiest nation for nine consecutive years. Together, they examine how foresight, education, trust, culture, and thoughtful governance can shape a nation’s well-being, and how organizations like Sitra help embed long-term thinking into the DNA of society.

Healthcare is on the verge of a profound transformation. In this episode of FOBtv, I am joined by my colleague Adam Boostrom from TCS's Future of Business team to explore how artificial intelligence, automation, digital twins, and always-on monitoring are reshaping the way healthcare is delivered. From wearable sensors and AI agents supporting individual patients to robotic assistants in hospitals and automated coordination of referrals and discharge, the conversation examines how technology could dramatically reduce clinician workload while improving outcomes and economics.
