A nice preview of my keynote at tonight's event just went online at the Malta Independent<\/a>. Some snippets:<\/p>\n

“By the year 2025, machines will have the same power as the human brain and in 2051 they will have the power of the entire
\nglobal population. Does is sound far-fetched? It is certainly a grand claim, but who better to make these kinds of observations than Gerd Leonhard, Futurist, Keynote Speaker, Author and CEO of The Futures Agency.\u00a0This was one of the many observations Mr Leonhard spoke to\u00a0The Malta Independent\u00a0about ahead of his Keynote Address for\u00a0The Economist\u00a0at their\u00a0\u2018The World in 2016 Gala Dinner\u2019tonight at the Hilton, St Julian\u2019s; where every year they invite experts and innovators from all over the world to share their \u2018predictions\u2019 for the coming year…<\/p>\n

Mr Leonhard released a film called \u2018Technology vs Humanity\u2019 which tries to \u201cpinpoint the ongoing convergence of man and machine\u201d. He explained the film\u2019s premise by saying that \u201cBasically technology is moving very close to people and lots of things that used to be done by people are now done by technology…<\/p>\n

He also recently contributed to a book called \u2018The Future of Business\u2019 where he redefined the relationship between man and machine in terms of business. \u201cThe way that it\u2019s being redefined is that we have to see that machines can handle 50% \u2013 80% of what we currently handle. They will take that over including banking advice, secretarial work, garbage people, airport drivers, you name it. [\u2026 ] So that\u2019s really going to change how we work and what we do. There will be a big shift in businesses because many businesses that used to have maybe 100,000 employees will in the future have 5,000 because of better use of technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

The future of business<\/strong><\/p>\n

The future of business for Mr Leonhard lies in redefining what kind of service or product businesses provide. It is no longer about the product itself, but about the experience of the product. \u201cThis is going to happen to banking, insurance, gaming so basically if you have a company you\u2019re going to have to create new values. You\u2019re going to have to move up the Maslow Pyramid where instead of just providing products and services, you have to provide experiences because experiences cannot be easily copied by technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Mr Leonhard broke down what he will be talking about during The Economist\u2019s Gala Dinner.\u00a0\u201cI will touch upon the changes of business that are imminent, like we are moving towards an exponential explosion in technology.\u201d He will mention what he calls the 10 \u2013ations, which are 10 mega trends: digitization, mobilization, automation, anticipation, robotization and others. Mr Leonhard, however, insists that there is no value in a society which is only technology because it will be one machine talking to another machine and there\u2019s no value in business if you are selling to a machine. His final statement will be \u201cembrace technology, but don\u2019t become it\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to the Malta Independent for interviewing me!<\/a><\/p>\n

PS: one of my proposal to the Maltese prime minister, the government and the business community will be to jointly produce a Malta Summit for the Future<\/strong> to tackle these opportunities and challenges :))<\/p>\n
