Future of Artificial Intelligence Keynote

“Exponential data growth, sensors, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are changing how we live, work and operate as a society. These are the lifeblood and foundations for the next 300 years of innovation and human progress.”

Nikolas Badminton, Chief Futurist

Nikolas Badminton is the futurist keynote speaker that provides your audience with key insights, signals and trends relating to the future of artificial intelligence and developments in machine learning.

In this futurist keynote he will teach you 3 essential lessons:

• Understand global megatrends and how artificial intelligence is changing our world
• See the exponential technologies built on the foundation of artificial intelligence and how they will change the world
• See how society and business needs to shift its mindset towards intelligence augmentation.

Lesson: Understand global megatrends and how artificial intelligence is changing our world

There are forces in the world that have far-reaching impacts across our struggling industrial complex. These include, economic power shifts with China and India as first and second with the United States in third place, the population boom in Africa and Southeast Asia, movements to megacities that will be over fifty million people in size by 2050 (Lagos, Nigeria will be the largest), the worsening global drought and water scarcity with effects on growing food and energy production.

New Artificial Intelligence and machine learning-based solutions will tap into the wisdom hidden in the subconscious layers of data in the platforms we use to influence how we manage and influence these massively complex systems.

Lesson: See the exponential technologies built on the foundation of artificial intelligence and how they will change the world

Nikolas will guide you through the technologies that are accelerating the industries powered by Artificial Intelligence. So many technologies rely on Artificial Intelligence and influence its development – Big data analytics, machine learning, robotic automation, robotics, robots, cobots, human and the machine, Internet of Things and the sensor economy, smart cities, wearable computing, virtual reality, augmented reality, the metaverse, 3D printing and additive manufacturing, drones and unmanned autonomous vehicles (flying cars), cybersecurity, Nanotechnology, quantum computing, digital triplets, digital twins and simulations, advanced avionics, autonomous planes, satellites, sub-orbital internet, Lunar settlements and human life support, blockchain, Web3, and more.

Lesson: See how society and business needs to shift its mindset towards intelligence augmentation

Data growth is unstoppable. There will be over 175 zettabytes of data created each year by 2026. That’s a CAGR of 61%, up from 33zb of data in 2018 (Source: IDC). Artificial Intelligence and machine learning will process and liberate new insights and value from that data and change how we operate. In doing so we will change everything and accelerate our society. In fact, PwC expects that $15.7 trillion could be added to the global economy by 2030 due to increased productivity and consumption side-effects.

Everything changes from this point forward and it will not be a machine-led revolution. It will be a world where the machines work with and are trained by humans to create a state of Intelligence Augmentation.

Shift your mindset from what is to WHAT IF…

What if you create bolder visions of your futures, strengthen strategic planning capabilities, anticipate unforeseen risks, and understand the value it provides to the market, your customers, and your shareholders? What if you create an anticipatory organizational capability? And, what if you empower all employees to be curious about the futures that lay ahead of us in 10, 20 and 30+ years?
