Graeme Codrington's Future of Work

Using two blockbuster movies from twenty years ago, we look forward at the future of data, predictive analytics, algorithms, and the ethics of how our data is used.

Science and art combine to show us what can go wrong, and remind us that the human spirit cannot be reduced to an algorithm.

This week's Throwforward Thursday episode was delayed out of respect for the lives lost in last week's deadly floods in South Africa (over 400 lives lost as of recording on 18 April 2022). These floods are the result of climate change and extreme weather and are just one further deadly reminder of what our future holds.

We cannot pretend that any of us will remain untouched by extreme weather. Each incident we experience should spur us on to make the changes and choices required to save our planet.

The Metaverse is rubbish - at least the version currently being hyped to us by retailers and employers. Join Graeme in the Throwforward Thursday studio to see what we DON'T want the Metaverse to be. Oh, and there are dragons.

You might want to check this week's podcast out on YouTube - there are some important visuals that will help make sense of it.

My final Throwforward Thursday podcast about Dubai Expo looks at my first and last moments at the Expo, where I realised it wasn't just about a fantastical vision of the future for my imagination, but was more an invitation to engage with heart and hands in what we can - and should - do to build a better world right now.

This one has lots of video elements, so maybe check out the YouTube video as well as listening to the podcast.

The Dubai Expo featured many different visions of robotics, from robot security guards patrolling the Expo area to self-flying drones and robotic coffee baristas. But probably most powerful was a dance display in the Kazakstan Pavilion that was meant to inspire a vision of humans and robots dancing and working together in harmony, rather than the picture of robots competing to take jobs away from people. Discover the future of human-robot interactions at Dubai Expo 2020.

I have spent the past week in Dubai, visiting the Expo 2020. Here is my first review and reflection on the experience. I was initially disappointed to not be overwhelmed with inspiring innovations, until I realised that the purpose of Expo was to show us what's possible NOW and invite us to build and live it NOW. Expo was an invitation to all of us to do what we can to create a better world.

Plumbers (and all the tradespeople) of the future will be high tech. Drones, robots, and more will be integrated into what they do. (PS. Tradespeople are always busy, never out of work, and will be able to charge top dollar for their high-tech work. Maybe think about this before you default to choosing university as the only option for yourself or your child after school.)

This week we jump to a future when sports are no longer categorised simply into "men" and "women". I refer to this as "gender" as that's the common label, but more technically, it is sexual biology that is important, and we know that this expresses itself on a spectrum rather than just in two big categories.

We need to find a way to express this in sporting categories too, like we do with weight classes in some sports or physical ability at the Paralympics. There are no simple and obvious solutions, but I imagine a future where we have gone through the tough culture wars on this issue and found something that works.

I hope you can imagine that too.

Sports that are played outdoors and can be affected by the weather will be impacted by climate change. Whether that's not having enough snow at the winter Olympics, or not enough water at the summer version, or it's about the temperatures being too hot to be safe for athletes, the future of sports has to take into account shifting weather patterns. Your business needs to do the same, of course.

Let's talk about the future of the Olympics (Part 1 of 3) and imagine sports competitions with no restrictions. Competitors can do whatever they want to their bodies to enhance them and get maximum performance out of them.

I'd pay to watch that. Would you?
