This is the 2nd episode of "Conversations with Gerd", a new series of short-films produced by Jean Francois Cardella and TFA Studio see http://www.futuristgerd.com/film-studio/ Internet, technology and platform companies are in the process of connecting everyone and everything, and collecting literally every piece of information about our lives. We will have 5 Billion people and 250 Billion devices and sensors connected to the Internet in 2020 - imagine the enourmous power of such a global brain. If the smartphone is already our external brain, what I call 'the global brain' will be infinitely more powerful, a #hellven mix of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent assistance (IA), deep learning and cognitive (quantum) computing the Internet of Things (IoT), augmented and virtual reality and much more. We can achieve magic things with this powerful tool, or we can indeed become tools ourselves.

More details and download the slides at http://www.futuristgerd.com/2016/10/11/presentation-todays-acepi-portugal-digital-summit/ Gerd Leonhard é um promotor e um defensor dos valores humanistas do futuro. Gerd perspetiva as tendências da cultura, da sociedade, do comércio e da tecnologia, oferecendo visões valiosas sobre o futuro aos líderes empresariais, que a partir das mesmas podem tomar melhores decisões e fazer escolhas mais informadas. No seu último livro, Technology vs Humanity, Gerd Leonhard explora uma miríade de questões éticas e sociais que reclamam respostas urgentes, antes que a cegueira afete toda a sociedade e o Homem renuncie à sua centelha de humanidade. Gerd Leonhard, que iniciou a sua carreira profissional como músico e que redefiniu a vocação dos futuristas e posicionou-os como os novos humanistas, foi considerado pela Wired Magazine em 2015 como uma das 100 personalidades mais influentes do mundo no que toca às tecnologias de informação. Entre os seus clientes contam-se mais de 200 empresas e organizações de mais de 50 países em todo o mundo, incluindo, e entre muitas outras, a Google, a UBS, a Roche, a WWF, a Cisco, a KPMG, a Unilever, a US Social Security Agency, a BBC, a Universal Studios, e a Comissão Europeia.

Gerd is most recently the author of a brand new book titled Technology vs Humanity: The Coming Clash Between Man and Machine and, as someone who puts stress on ethics in his work as a futurist, I thought he would make a great interviewee on Singularity.FM. So check out his interview and let me know what you think! During our 90 min discussion with Gerd Leonhard Singularity. FM covers a variety of interesting topics such as: why Gerd considers himself a humanist and a traveller; his journey from theology and philosophy through music and entrepreneurship and into foresight and futurism; starting a Spotify-type of a company 10 years too early and writing his bestseller book The Future of Music; the idea of merging with machines and his latest book Technology vs Humanity; whether we want Silicon Valley and DARPA to determine the future of humanity; why technology is not enough and the need for digital ethics; political referendums, universal basic income and technological unemployment; his concept of CORE vs the popular STEM; capitalism, abundance and profit…
