Beyond Business As Usual The Societal And Human Impact Of The IoT. Human Futurist Gerd Leonhard
The societal impacts of IoT are enormous, yet still relatively uncharted and generally regarded as externalities. While technological progress is certain to bring vast economic and societal benefit, we cannot ignore the potential unintended consequences of this exponential transformation.
Thinking beyond the financial bottom lines, profit and growth, the much bigger questions deal with what Ged Leonhard calls #digitalethics and general human flourishing: What will be the impact of IoT on society and culture, jobs and the global workforce? What is our role as business and technology leaders in preparing the world and the workforce for the exponential challenges and opportunities speeding towards us?
In this session, Gerd explores the ethics of IoT and the critical role of human ingenuity in designing and shepherding its impact.
Thanks to the IoT World Forum and Cisco for inviting Ged Leonhard to present at this event.

ESPRIX Excellence Suisse, Gerd Leonhard, Futurist, Autor, CEO The Futures Agency (in German)
Keynote von Gerd Leonhard, Futurist, Keynote Speaker, Autor, Zukunftsberater, zum Thema «Die Menschlichkeit der Technologie – ein Schlüsselfaktor für unsere Zukunft» auf dem ESPRIX Forum 2017.
Das Wall Street Journal bezeichnete ihn als «einen der führenden Futuristen der Welt» – Gerd Leonhard erforscht die Zukunft unserer Gesellschaft und zeigt, wie sich Medien, Technologie, Werbung, Kommunikation, Handel und Kultur verändern. In über 50 Ländern haben schon fast eine Million Menschen den Futuristen live bei seinen inspirierenden Keynotes, Workshops und Seminaren erlebt. Die Technologie der Zukunft birgt ungeahnte Möglichkeiten, bis hin zur Verschmelzung von Mensch und Technologie durch Wearables oder Mikrosensoren in unseren Blutbahnen. Fluch oder Segen? Die Technologie legt ein Tempo vor, mit dem politische Prozesse kaum mithalten können. Und doch sind wir gefragt, heute Leitplanken zu definieren, die sicherstellen, dass die Technologie von morgen dem höchsten Potential unseres Menschseins dienen wird. Gerd Leonhard hat einen Weckruf parat.
