We are into the first week of January and there are already lots of exciting things to watch in 2024. This week's future-focused weekly update hits on three that are top of mind for me.

  • AI's Dual Impact on Job Market: It's a complex world when you explore AI's role in job displacement and creation. There are conflicting reports and projections highlighting the need for cautious and discerning leadership in navigating AI's impact on employment. As leaders, we need to engage in open dialogues and proactive strategies to stay ahead in an era of uncertainty and disruption.
    • Quantum Computing's Leap Forward: I hit the basics of quantum computing and its potential to revolutionize processing power. With predictions of quantum computing hitting the mainstream in 2024, we need to consider the implications for AI, pharmaceuticals, finance, and business optimization. When it lands, it will amplify technological advancements, posing exciting opportunities and new risks.
      • The Power Crisis in Tech Advancement: We can't ignore the energy demands of rapidly advancing technologies like AI and quantum computing. It's easy to forget the significant electricity consumption by data centers and tech giants, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable power solutions. I'm optimistic given the developments in fusion energy, a potential game-changer for clean and efficient power generation, and the evolving landscape of renewable energy sources.

        • And, don't forget to share your thoughts. Also, if there are topics you're curious about, let me know. I'll continue sharing my thoughts in this rapid-fire addition to Future-Focused content. Have a great week!
