  • The Future of Media and News – The Evolution of Alternative Futures with Sylvia Gallusser

    This is the second of three episodes in which Global Futurist & Metaverse Strategist Sylvia Gallusser and I are exploring the future of media, news, and the identity economy. Last time, we explored the context of AI development focusing on generative AI, then looked at the opportunities and risks content creation through lens of journalism.

    Today, we will dig deeper into the opportunities and challenges of using generative AI and look further into the future and explore three scenarios from 2050.

  • The Intelligent Age with David Smith

    Deloitte’s Tony Reeves characterised the Intelligent Age as “the Age of With, where every human works with intelligent machines in every activity. It merges the digital, physical and human worlds, collaborating across the boundaries of each to improve performance and empower smarter humans to achieve more at incredible speed.”

    In this episode, our questions are on the characterisation of the Intelligent Age, what it might look like in 2050, the

    significant technologies of the time, and how this comes together to impact the kind of work we might do in the second half of this century.  

    To help me consider these questions, I am delighted to welcome chief executive and a futurist at London-based Global Futures and Foresight, David Smith, to the podcast.

  • The Future of Media and News – The Role of Generative AI with Sylvia Gallusser

    For some years, the ongoing and accelerating development of artificial intelligence has been eye- and imagination-catching. And now we have a number of generative AI models that have burst onto the scene over the last year or so. Generative artificial intelligence - refers to the use of AI to create new content; like text, images, music, audio, and video. Generative AI works by using a machine learning model to learn the patterns and relationships in a dataset of human-created content. It then uses the learned patterns to generate new content.

    But given the rapid development and real world application of these models, what could they mean for the future of media and content, and for the identity economy?

    This is the first of a three-part exploration of the role of generative AI into both these areas that I am thrilled to say is

    in collaboration with Global Futurist & Metaverse Strategist Sylvia Gallusser. In this episode we will explore the context of AI development focusing on generative AI, then look at content creation through the lens of journalism.

    In the second episode we will look to the future and to explore three scenarios of a world in 2050 where the identity economy dominates. And then in the third episode, we will invite viewers and listeners to share their perspectives on our exploration and the future of media, news, and the identity economy.

  • Life After Net Zero with Steve Wells

    With recent controversy surrounding the Government’s apparent backing off from the pace at which the UK will achieve net zero by 2050, I wanted to take the opportunity to explore the issue. But rather than jump on the scare band-wagon, wanted to offer a carrot – if that’s not mixing too many metaphors.

    While the threat of climate change-fuelled catastrophe might scare people into action, perhaps that should be considered in parallel with the benefits of achieving net zero.

    So in this episode of the podcast, let’s imagine a future in 2060 in which global society has achieved net zero as planned in 2050.

  • The Office of the Future: 2050 and Beyond with Harriet Wiseman

    Since the pandemic, remote and hybrid working have become part of the workplace planning lexicon. But with the debate about the pros and cons of working away from the office still in full flight, change is also being fuelled by increasingly sophisticated automation technologies, which in turn offers the attractive potential of significant cost savings afforded by downsizing office accommodation.

    To explore the role of flexibility in establishing successful workplaces, developments in material production, and key challenges for the success of the future workplaces in the second half of this century, I am joined by Associate Director at Colliers International, Harriet Wiseman in this episode of the podcast.

  • Digital Twins with Alex Whittington

    A "Digital Twin" is a virtual model of a process, product, or service. The pairing of the virtual and physical worlds allows analysis of data collected to predict potential issues before they even occur; preventing downtime, developing new opportunities, and even plan for the future by using simulations, for example.

    To explore digital twins and their societal implications, I am joined on this episode of the podcast by Alex Whittington, a futurist from the Tata Consulting Services Future of Business team.

  • The Path to Technotopia or Climate Change Fuelled Dystopia with Rob Caldera

    It’s not uncommon for us to consider a positive outcome in the future, or a negative one. The utopian view or the dystopian view. But the likelihood is of a future with both positive and negative elements, much like we have seen in the present and the past.

    Today, we are exploring the dichotomy between advanced technology changing everything for the better and a world in chaos because of climate change. Will we harness these amazing technology advances to resolve our challenges in the second half of the 21st century and create a technotopia, and will we recover from sliding into climate change fuelled dystopia?

    To consider the drivers of these contrasting futures, I am delighted to welcome Managing Principal at Future|Shift Consulting, Rob Caldera back to the podcast.

  • Introduction to the Informing Choices Mini-Pod Series 4 - The Farther Future with Steve Wells

    In this new series of the podcast, I want to look farther into the future with my guests; to 2050 and beyond. So I will be exploring what our world might look like in the second half of this century; consider the roles that innovative technologies might play in a re-invented future; and what major changes we could see that would have a profound impact across life, society, and business.

    The first episode of this new series drops on Wednesday 6th September.

  • Is kindness the leadership competence of the future? with Alessandra Marazzi

    Jacinda Ardern’s decision to step down as New Zealand’s Prime Minister came as a surprise to many. She became the world’s youngest female head of government when she was elected prime minister in 2017 at 37. She has led New Zealand through the Covid-19 pandemic, and a series of disasters including the terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch, and the White Island volcanic eruption.

    Asked how she would like New Zealanders to remember her leadership, Ardern said “as someone who always tried to be kind”.

    “I hope I leave New Zealanders with a belief that you can be kind, but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused. And that you can be your own kind of leader – one who knows when it’s time to go,” Ardern said.

    The prime minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, paid tribute to Ardern, saying she “has shown the world how to lead with intellect and strength … She has demonstrated that empathy and insight are powerful leadership qualities.”

    Relational Systems Architect, Leadership Development & Impact Coach, and creator of Mycelium Collab Alessandra Marazzi posed the question, “What would the world look if we all wanted to be remembered, as someone who always tried to be kind?” Which in turn begs the question, “Is kindness the leadership competence of the future?”

    To consider this question, I am delighted to welcome Alessandra back to the podcast.
