The Future of Business in a connected world (FPA Boston Presentation)Gerd Leonhard
This is an edited version of my talk on The Future of Business in a networked Society, for the Financial Planning Association, in Boston (March 3, 2010).
The money system is being disrupted by bitcoin made by a unknown person. How could the money system that has been evolved for several thousand years be challenged by bits of software? There so many things being disrupted bringing new opportunities as well as risks. Life2.0 could be the term to explaining this big paradigm shuffling.
Local is the Lo in SoLoMo, the buzz word. Local is not only about location, it's also about your digital track record. Over 70% of Netflix users watch the films recommend. Mining data to understand people's behaviour is getting to be a huge and valuable business. Advertisers see opportunities in getting direct to their target groups. Predictive intelligence is also about where you will be at some time in the future, and where somebody you know will be.
It turns out that Facebook and Google know you better than you think you know yourself. The world is about to get really scary.
Overcoming The Biggest Barriers To Cloud Computing?Bernard Marr
During the current coronavirus pandemic, cloud computing is playing an increasingly prominent part in many of our lives. From how we stay entertained, to socialising with friends and doing business, it’s fair to say that when things eventually return to normal many people will have a far greater appreciation of cloud and the way it empowers us to work, play and do business differently.

About my new book: are you ready for the greatest changes in recent human history? Futurism meets humanism in Gerd Leonhard’s ground-breaking new work of critical observation, discussing the multiple Megashifts that will radically alter not just our society and economy but our values and our biology. Wherever you stand on the scale between technomania and nostalgia for a lost world, this is a book to challenge, provoke, warn and inspire.
ICIS Final Panel - The Rise of ICT-distributed collective intelligenceRobin Teigland
Panel at International Conference on Information Systems in Paris, France December 2008. Looks at the rise of ICT-distributed collective intelligence in relationship to Multinational Corporations
The Sharing Economy is about how the Internet enabled us more than ever to share almost anything. Sharing is part of our genes and today we share almost anything. This phenomenon, also called "collaborative consumption" is not new, but its growing faster than ever before.
Any brand in any sector should be aware of this new economy. In it lie threats. And opportunities for those who know how to change and alter their offering.

The Future Of Media And Content Gerd Leonhard at TIME 08 IstanbulGerd Leonhard
My presentation at the 2008 TIME conference in Istanbul, Turkey (Dec 2, 08): The Future of Content and Media. Topics include:
* Why telecoms and content owners have to work together to develop a new content business model (and what it could look like)
* The consequences of 3G- and Wimax- powered mobility on the content industries
* How Advertising 2.0 and the future of content are intertwined, and what role a new kind of advertising approach could play in content commerce
* How the traditional, western 'copy economy' is shifting to the access, service & sharing economy, and what the corresponding new business models could look like
* Why the flat rate for music is the solution for the current conumdrum, what it means, and how it could work
* Why we cannot succeed by focusing on Control as the main factor of content monetization - and what else could be done, instead! More at http://tinyurl.com/6fa3t8

Decentralized Markets for Data and Artificial IntelligenceDimitri De Jonghe
Society is becoming increasingly reliant on data, especially with the advent of AI. However, a small handful of organizations with both massive data assets and AI capabilities have become powerful with control that is a danger to a free and open society.
With the help of blockchain, tokenomics and privacy-by-design, Ocean Protocol aims to unlock data, for more equitable outcomes for users of data, using a thoughtful application of both technology and governance.
Presentation held together with Andreea Belu @EveDaRib at the Animated Workshop, Viborg.
This presentation describes what we do, who we are and our most important topics (currently).
A presentation on the challenges we must address to better utilise the Internet to create better ways of working, learning and living; trust, payments, security, copyright and taxation.
Presentation I did at Social Bar at the 4th of November in Berlin. It's a 10 minute talk about open government data for people who are not familiar with the topic.
The NCD is the largest association in The Netherlands, exclusive for top level management, commissioners and boardmembers. NCD organized a minicongres on Trends in Technlogy - in celebration of heir 60-year anniversary. I spoke on the subject of social business and trends.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
