This is a compilation of highlights from my recent keynote at a Thomson Reuters Pebble Beach, CA, event in May 2024.
In this thought-provoking and immersive, wide-screen talk, I explored the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on humanity. Drawing insights from futurists like Kevin Kelly and media philosophers like Marshall McLuhan, I discuss the transformative power of AI, its potential to increase global GDP, and the new forms of work it will create. I delve into the concepts of cognification, augmentation, virtualization, and automation (CAVA), highlighting the importance of maintaining a symbiotic relationship between humans and machines. The talk underscores the need to embrace technology while retaining control, emphasizing human skills and capabilities to stay ahead in the AI-driven future.
