Open video to the government of Lanzarote and the Canary Islands – Design your preferred Future!

Some of you may know that we spend quite a bit of time in #lanzarote, The Canary Islands and that I have a live-streaming studio in Las Breñas. Many of my recent films, videos, and shows were filmed there, including the 2021 film www.thegoodfuturefilm.com. I like Lanzarote, and recently, I started to look at how my work as a futurist might be helpful there – hence this ‘open letter' i.e., open video on the future of Lanzarote, addressed to the local government officials, business leaders and politicians whose task it is to ensure that the island becomes ‘Future Fit'.

My recent presentation on Artificial General Intelligence: Videos, PDF, Slides and links
