Graeme Codrington's Future of Work

Sometime in the 2030s, artificial intelligence-driven algorithms will prove to be better at picking stocks and managing investment funds than human beings - removing emotion, trading faster with more information, and course-correcting better than we can.

We didn't think computers would beat us at Chess or Go - we were wrong. "Playing the market" might very well be something left to smart machines, as we see the end of... investment brokers and fund managers.

In fact, this would be the end of EVERYTHING. There's an insect apocalypse happening at the moment. All around the world, studies are seeing alarming decreases in insect populations. The world as we know cannot survive without insects, so we need to take this seriously. Here is some reading and links to important research studies:

A few days late this week, ThrowForward Thursday jumps to the year 2050, where we might have no more cocoa trees in the world. And that would mean the end of chocolate as we know and make it today.

There are things that can be done to ensure this doesn't happen - let's make sure we do them. We don't want to live in a world without chocolate, do we?

This week we start a new series about things that are going to end in our lifetimes, and how that will impact the world we live and work in. No, it's not going to be doom and gloom - some of these things can be replaced, and some we can do without anyway. But our focus is actually going to be on how to prepare for deep structural and disruptive change, with foresight, innovation and adaptability. Please make suggestions for what should be on our list of things coming to an end at http://www.askaboutthefuture.com

Made from the stem cells of the African Claw Frog, xenobots were created at the University of Vermont in 2020. They're tiny organisms that have been DNA programmed to do specific tasks. By the 2040s we should be able to program xenobots to do very useful, very specific tasks for us, from collecting radioactive materials to breaking down plastic pollution. They could even be used in our own bodies to destroy cancer cells or clean cholesterol plaque from our arteries.

Some jobs in the future will require special skills, restricted to those people who have agreed to augment their human skills with additional functionality of robotics. This could be anything from exoskeletons that increase strength and endurance to bionic senses and even enhanced mental processing skills.

Cyborgs - human/machine hybrids - are coming.

Right now we are advancing our ability to fix problems with ears and eyes and replace broken parts to give sight and sound to people. In the near future, we will be able to go a step further and both bypass the eyes and ears sending signals directly to the brain, and also enhance the eyes and ears with bionic capabilities. Medical advances in the next decade or so are going to be quite mind blowing.

The development of real-time translation apps - for text, voice and visuals - is moving at breakneck pace. Although still not perfect, they are already remarkable. The next stage of their development will be the integration of these tools into our everyday lives, including into AR (augmented reality) devices like glasses, smart headphones and other wearables. This is a very near future reality, and a massive business opportunity in many different markets. Once the tech companies make translation APIs available, they can be included almost anywhere. CONSIDER THIS: How would having no language barriers change the way you do business and live your life?

Twenty years ago, the senior executive team of most businesses was the CEO, COO and CFO - Executive, Operations and Finance. We've since added many new functions to this senior leadership group, including HR, Marketing, Technology, Information and more. But what will the C-suite look like 20 years from now?

There are four key pillars to the future of most businesses that probably need new focused executive leaders. Here are eleven suggested new functions for the C-suite of the future.
