My recent presentation on Artificial General Intelligence: Videos, PDF, Slides and links
In this special livestreamed event I outlined my arguments that while IA (Intelligent Assistance) and some forms of narrow AI may well be quite beneficial to humanity, the idea of building AGIs i.e. 'generally intelligent digital entities' (as set forth by Sam Altman / #openai and others) represents an existential risk that imho should not be undertaken or self-governed by private enterprises, multi-national corporations or venture-capital funded startups.

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'. I'd be delighted to contribute what I can, pro bono

What X’s Grok says about my work on AI, being and Public Thinker
"Ah, Gerd Leonhard, the man who's been gazing into the crystal ball of technology with a mix of awe and caution. (I truly hate the crystal ball thing but ok... it's Grok's fun mode) Here's what he's been chirping about AI, with a dash of humor and an outside perspective on humanity: **Gerd's Take on AI:** 1. **The Human Element:** Gerd often emphasizes the importance of not losing our humanity to technology. He's like the tech world's version of a life coach, reminding us that while AI can do many things, it's not about to start a book club or appreciate a sunset's beauty. - **Quote:** "Embrace technology but don’t become it." This is his credo, suggesting we should use AI as a tool, not let it define us. (This is very strange as sometimes I describe my work as providing 'future therapy')

The Future of Education and the Future Mindset: The next 10 years. Keynote for UNECE, Cyprus
In this keynote at UNECE in Cyprus (June 2024): The Future of Education: Technology AI, Sustainability, and the Role of Humanity, I explore the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence and the Sustainability Revolution on our future. I discuss the concept of AI as a second brain and the implications of this technology surpassing human capabilities (as far as 'processing power' is concerned). I argue for the necessity of ethical considerations in AI development and emphasize the shift from profit-based economics to more planet-centric ones.
