- 64. My key learnings • Change yourself or you will be changed • Exponential growth of technology will force us to change gears • Unprecedented confluence of disruptive technologies (synthetic biology, AI, nano, sensors, robots, etc.) will improve our physical health • Machines will surpass human intelligence soon and cross an irreversible point • No future for diseases: genomics – nano - AI- digital biology • Merging human values with AI for co-existential sustainability • Lost of millions of jobs < 10 years, but are we ready to focus on opportunities (education)? • By 2020 we have 2 billion new minds joining the internet, 2 billion inventors… • Many organizations build their strategies on linear foundations whereas the exponential world is around the corner. New business models are needed • There will be a world of abundance, but who will benefit from that? • Technology encourages superficiality (millenniums)
