- 4. Culture/B-Corp Status Our mission is to educate, empower and inspire leaders to use exponential technologies to address humanity’s grand challenges. Programs and initiatives that encourage people to solve humanity’s grand challenges with exponential technology
- 5. Programs and initiatives that encourage people to solve humanity’s grand challenges with exponential technology Culture/B-Corp Status Grounded in Abundance Theory Encouraged by SU’s values and culture Grounded in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Examples: any SU program as abundance is a consequence of exponential technology, varies in degree of emphasis: GSP, Impact Partnerships, etc. Examples: investors, recycling, socially and environmentally responsible vendors, volunteerism, scholarships, biking, women’s impact network, holiday giving etc Measured by: The Global Grand Challenges and the Five Pathways to Impact Measured by BLab (Certification from external nonprofit) and tracked internally *The above categories will overlap.
- 10. Abundance Theory
- 12. Scarcity → Abundance Exponential technologies will allow us to produce more than enough goods and services for everyone on the planet.
- 13. Costs → $0 Performance → ∞ Scaling → ∞
- 15. Exponential change is fast, sophisticated and applies to anything that is information based. The role of the chip is to turn everything into information, meaning everything we digitize will follow exponential trends.

Editor's Notes
- Spread robotic factory in Japan will grow 30,000 – 50,000 heads of lettuce per day. No pesticides, no soil. This will allow us to grow food in remote locations. And remember, the cost of robotics, sensors, energy is all going down making this model eventually ubiquitous. Spread already has many competitors and all our working on more complex types of vegetables.
- Many start ups, such as PlutoAI raising millions of dollars to better manage water supplies with artificial intelligence. pipes.
- Mark Post at Maastricht University is growing lab-grown meat in a bioreactor. It’s real meat grown from a cow’s cells, but does not kill the animal. Imagine the reduction in environmental damage from livestock. The cost has dramatically fallen, starting out at $300,000 per burger and now around $10 per burger. They are still working on improving the taste and texture. There is also the possibility to add nutrients and remove fats or components that are damaging to our health.
- Bill Gates, Richard Branson, DFJ invested $17 million.
- We now live in a world where we have an “Internet of Cows.” Cows now have chips in them that track data. Microsoft and Japan are already using artificial intelligence to understand when cows are sick or most fertile using this data. A number of dairy farms now have robotic dairies that milk cows when they come into the barn to get their food. The farmer, who used to be on call 24 - 7can now manage the farm from a cell phone App.
- Moley Robotics is developing this robot chef. The business model is to sell the recipes on Itunes. Other robotics companies are working on the dish washers.
- “Blockchain technology allows us to step up the fight against hunger,” said WFP’s Director of Innovation and Change Management, Robert Opp. “Through blockchain, we aim to cut payment costs, better protect beneficiary data, control financial risks, and respond more rapidly in the wake of emergencies. Using blockchain can be a qualitative leap – not only for WFP, but for the entire humanitarian community”, he added. 10,000 refugees in camp in Jordon
- The first human to perform genetic engineering on herself for anti-aging.
- Facebook has 65 engineers working on brain to brain to machine interface.
