I’m working at Manchester City Stadium today. It seemed like the perfect spot to ask a future-facing question. Humanoid robots just ran a half-marathon in China. No injuries. No fatigue. Football’s bound to be next. (Quite a few falls and a bit of smoke emerged though!) So… if machines start playing better than we can, […]
Imagine a classroom that adapts to each child’s pace, strengths, and interests – automatically and in real time. That’s what AI-driven education will look like for Gen Beta. In my Future Ready for 2030 Keynotes, I show how algorithms will pinpoint learning gaps and deliver bespoke lessons, transforming ‘one-size-fits-all’ schooling. If I had an AI […]
As we dive deeper into the AI era, here’s one to watch: Hyperlocalisation. Imagine AI understanding your street, your neighbourhood – down to the tiniest details. Dynamic pricing at a farmers’ market based on fruit ripeness. A café opening earlier on rainy mornings because the data says locals stay close to home. Traffic automatically rerouted […]
For Gen Beta, sustainability won’t just be an option; it’ll be an everyday necessity. Rising sea levels, wildfires, and extreme weather events will negatively colour their childhood memories. In my keynotes on Future Readiness, I emphasise that lasting change often starts with the next generation’s mindset. I sometimes wish we could reboot the planet like […]
Picture a 6-year-old using augmented reality glasses to paint virtual murals (turned physical on “publish”) on their bedroom walls. That’ll be normal for Gen Beta. The boundary between “online” and “real-life” blurs until it’s almost nonexistent. In my ‘Discover Your Future’ sessions, we create augmented experiences to show how immersive they can be. The key? […]
When Facebook bought Instagram in 2012 for $1 billion, it had just 13 employees. Fast-forward to the AI era, and here’s a thought: Could a solopreneur, backed entirely by AI agents, build a billion-dollar company alone? Five years ago, I’d have called it science fiction. Today, it feels like a real possibility. AI agents are […]
Starting in 2025, a new generation steps into the world: Generation Beta – the kids who’ll see AI as casually as we (me, a Gen X’er) once saw flip phones. Their growing up will be characterised by hyper-personalised education, voice activated and Augmented Reality everything, and a planet grappling with massive climate challenges. And that’s […]
In the film, Sarah Connor says, “𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙚𝙩.” Kyle Reese replies, “𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 40 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨.” Well… here we are in 2024. Robots that move like us. Learn like us. Cost less than you’d think. The question isn’t if they’re coming – it’s how much closer they’ll get to us. […]
I recently teamed up with respected speaker business consultant, Maria Franzoni, to create a series of short Zoom interviews exploring the impact of AI, future trends, and the exciting opportunities ahead. Towards 2028, AI’s impact on jobs won’t just be a fringe fear – it’ll likely be a major election issue. With global tensions rising […]
I recently teamed up with respected speaker business consultant, Maria Franzoni, to create a series of short Zoom interviews exploring the impact of AI, future trends, and the exciting opportunities ahead Wondering which jobs will thrive, evolve, or disappear in the AI era? Let’s have a look. Some roles are safe – anything that leans […]
