Ronald van den Hoff is an author, publisher, trendwatcher, entrepreneur, coach, investor, and chairman who focuses on technological explosions, social transformations, and the rise of a chaordic (both chaotic and orderly) society. Key aspects of this transformation include the internet providing access to information, the social web enabling connectivity, and collaborative platforms creating new models for social and economic value creation. By 2025, artificial and human intelligence will be more connected through technologies like the global brain, while production will increasingly be handled by intelligent robots and a metaverse-style mesh of decentralized collaboration.
