This is a video of Gerd Leonhard's entire keynote plus Q&A session at FTA 2018 (the annual EU Commission's Joint Research Centre - Future in the Making conference) in Brussels. In this talk Gerd addresses a number of future challenge-opportunities (it's always both!)facing policy makers in the next decade: exponential technological change, very very big data, artificial intelligence, digital ethics (the ethics of technology), the cognification of networked machines, technological unemployment and the future of work, skills and education. The Future is better than we think! The future is already here - we just haven't paid enough attention! We must invest as much in humanity as we invest in technology! Technology is exponential but humans are not!

Please also find the video on Gerd's Youtubechannel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=921&v=iyUwC9syuGo Topics covered in this talk: In a world where technological progress is exceedingly exponential and combinatorial, how will we define what is human, and what is not? What will humans do, in the future, and what will be done by technology? What should and what should not be automated? From genetic engineering to artificial intelligence and robotics, from cognitive computing to the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 – we are heading into a future where much of what used to be science fiction is becoming science fact. What consequences will this have on society, culture, economy, business, government, the environment … and ourselves? What do we need to do today to make sure the ultimate result will still be human flourishing? In this groundbreaking new talk based on his new book, “Technology vs. Humanity”, Gerd addresses the “future shocks” that lie in wait for humanity as it tumbles into a world of Big Data / Tech / AI dominance. At the intersection of technology and ethics, we’ll go beyond our daily concerns, and challenge the very core of being human – our shared values, believes and desire for happiness. We’ll explore the coming clash of machine and mankind in detail – one that will make all other ‘industrial revolutions’ seem like kindergarten.
