In ‘The Big 21st Century Trends‘, we explore the big technologies and challenges facing our species. Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology, Future of Work and Climate Change. What should audiences be aware of and how can they live harmoniously and productively in a dramatically changing world? Together, we look at the foundational technology layers that are enabling […]
