Astronomers gather an astounding amount of data every day (well, mainly at night) in the form of photographs, radio, audio and spectral analysis from every part of the universe. You've no doubt seen the high resolution photos. To analyse all of this data we need to use machine learning and proper AI - no human being or group of humans is capable of processing all of this data. In fact, astronomy has been using AI longer than most industries precisely because of this. This is what AI is really good for: data analytics powered by machine learning focused on massive data sets, looking for patterns and anomalies.

In last week's ThrowForward Thursday episode we looked at one of the truly BAD days in history, 60 million years ago when a meteor hit Mexico and 75% of life on earth was wiped out. Bad... that's an understatement. We looked at NASA is doing to make sure that doesn't happen while we are here.

Watch that video here: https://youtu.be/EUaVUbbLMWY Imagining worst case scenarios is a key aspect of 'Thinking Like a Futurist', and in this episode I show you three tools you can use to do this:

Grey Elephants (by which we mean highly probable, high impact and yet ignored threats in the near future)

Chaos Monkeys (a technique started at Netflix to test their systems)

In September 2022, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft deliberately collided with a small moonlet, Dimorphos more than 7 million miles away from earth. It successfully changed its trajectory, and proved that we can use this approach to deal with future threatening asteroids. It's a marvel of modern science, but it's also a fantastic analogy for what businesses need to be doing with "worst case scenario" thinking.

We know that AI is coming. This year has shown us a vision of what's possible with Generative AI - but these technologies are not going to deliver on this visions. I say that confidently - they are not really AI. In fact, they might tempt some businesses into really bad decisions about how they use their people and systems - mistakes will be made. So, smart business leaders must rather use the glimpses of the future that ChatGPT, Bard, Bing and GenAI tech have given us, to accelerate the strategic conversations about building truly bionic businesses. Bionic means that humans and machines are integrated, bringing out the best in each other, and building a system that is better than both would be on their own. What does this mean in your business? Can you see beyond the hype of these early systems and imagine what a bionic future looks like? Let our team at TomorrowToday guide you as you think about this.

There is so much hype and noise around Generative AI (ChatGPT, Bard, Bing, etc) at the moment. We need to cut through this to make sure we make the most of it for our teams and businesses. If you don't know what the Gartner's Hype Cycle looks like, check out the image at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle In this bonus episode of the podcast, we will then look at the role of a team and senior leader in any and every industry right now. They need to do three things: 1. Get the productivity and communication improvements you can. 2. Don't make any dumb mistakes by misusing Gen AI for something it can't really do (which means understanding that it isn't really AI after all). 3. Add AI and AGI (artificial GENERAL intelligence) to your strategy planning for the foreseeable future and allocate some of your best people to lead experiments in how to apply them to your business. And maybe the final thing you should do is speak to our team at Tomorrow Today Global to help you navigate these crazy times and make sense of it all.

Let's jump just a few years into the future, where architects are incorporating real time data analytics to dramatically improve their human-centric designs and are incorporating AI assistants into their professional offices. I think that AI taking over from human architects is a long way off, but by 2030, the architects that use AI and data analytics will be taking the jobs of architects who don't.

The 2020 Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded to Dr. Jennifer Doudna and Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier for their work on the gene editing technique known as CRISPR-Cas9. This gives us the ability to change the DNA of any living thing, from plants and animals to humans. The applications are enormous, from improving farming to curing diseases. A decade or so from now, CRISPR will no doubt be taught in High Schools, and be a basic building block of medicine and agriculture. It is going to change everything. There are ethical and moral concerns, of course, and we will need regulations to ensure this powerful technology is not abused. But we should focus on the remarkable opportunities CRISPR has opened up for us.

Last week, I shared "21 Predictions for the year 2123" (see https://bit.ly/21for2123).

Today, we go behind the scenes and discover the two tools I used to select these scenarios, as we learn to think like a futurist. I'll show you the importance of a framework for horizon scanning, and then, if you're a member of my Futures Club, you'll see how to take the list of trends and disruptive forces and apply the Impact vs Probability matrix together with High Road/Low Road filters to produce scenarios that will help your team prepare for the future.
