About this listen
Technology is transforming not only industries and companies but our societies.
- With an amount of information that overwhelms people, complex issues are oversimplified. Conspiracy theories are easier to frame and fake news spread in a post-truth world.
- Robots are coming, though not in the humanoid shape of sci-fi movies, but in the invisible shape of driverless cars or digital assistants in your phone or smartwatch.
- With the rise of sensors, wearables and the Internet of Things, more data is generated than ever before that make us more traceable and predictable.
The key role of algorithms, machine learning and artificial intelligence in shaping our future is not yet fully grasped.
The future was not as we imagined it and the future won't be as we imagine it now, yet we must imagine it in order to build it.
Through the eyes of a millennial we explore different angles and implications of technology changes and of the values that could lead us to a new cultural Renaissance of prosperity and arts, or to a nightmare in which inequality breeds populism with unpredictable consequences.
This story is about all those elements that are part of the everyday debate among the entrepreneurs that will shape how our future will be.
It is about the nature of jobs, of intellectual property, about the role of startups and the role of money. And specially it is about the impact that each of our decisions play in the society we want to create.
