Futurist Gerd Leonhard - We're at the pivot point of The Good Future: CNN Portugal

Audio-only versions of Futurist Gerd Leonhard's keynotes

Last week, I was interviewed for the PITCH: Brand&Content show that aired on @CNNPortugal on January 6, 2024, produced by @Pitch-brand-and-content (great job, btw). Thanks to Creart.pt for inviting me to be a part of this show. You can watch it on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBKKjUu-dsM 00:22 The Three Revolutions: Digital, Green, and Human (Pink/Purple) 01:04 The Role of Europe in Leading into The Good Future 01:11 The Dangers of #artificialintelligence and the Need for Containment 02:19 The Power of Trust and Collaboration in Shaping the Future 04:17 The Emergence of a Better Future: Technology, Regulation, and Happiness This year marks a pivotal moment for humanity as we face the convergence of three monumental revolutions: The digital revolution (big blue) has become almost synonymous with artificial intelligence, driving profound transformations across all aspects of our lives. It could be heaven or it could be hell. Simultaneously, the green, #sustainability revolution will gain dramatic momentum in 2024 as societies move decisively towards sustainability, deeply circular practices, and a much more profound commitment to the environment. No company can afford to ignore this global shift towards greener thinking. Lastly, the third revolution, “Big Pink” (better ...Big Purple) underscores the importance of human agency and purpose. IMHO, #europe stands poised to lead the charge in embracing sustainability and prioritizing the existential importance of human intelligence and agency. In #2024, the central question before us is whether we really should sacrifice our humanity, skills, #freewill and human agency for the elusive allure of efficiency and rapid technological progress... I'll have a few things to say about that:))
