I had a great conversation with fellow futurist Anders Sorman-Nilsson for his ‘2nd Renaissance' vodcast. You can it check out here (video, as below), or on Spotify (audio).
We investigated ‘The Good Future’, why ‘Green is the New Digital’ and discussed why pandemic was/is a test run for climate change and how to re-design capitalism to make it future-fit.
In 2016, Gerd published the book Technology vs. Humanity, a manifesto for digital rights and an investigation into the many areas of life currently impacted by technology disruption without regulation or policy. His Open Letter to the Partnership on AI was published in the British magazine Wired in October 2016, calling on technology leaders at IBM, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Amazon to embrace digital ethics in the emerging era of cognitive automation. Emphasizing a European tradition of humanist values and philosophy, Leonhard pursues a path of technological balance as evidenced in earlier eras such as the Italian Renaissance, which perhaps makes him the perfect guest on the 2nd Renaissance.
