Beyond Business As Usual The Societal And Human Impact Of The IoT. Human Futurist Gerd Leonhard

The societal impacts of IoT are enormous, yet still relatively uncharted and generally regarded as externalities. While technological progress is certain to bring vast economic and societal benefit, we cannot ignore the potential unintended consequences of this exponential transformation. Thinking beyond the financial bottom lines, profit and growth, the much bigger questions deal with what Ged Leonhard calls #digitalethics and general human flourishing: What will be the impact of IoT on society and culture, jobs and the global workforce? What is our role as business and technology leaders in preparing the world and the workforce for the exponential challenges and opportunities speeding towards us? In this session, Gerd explores the ethics of IoT and the critical role of human ingenuity in designing and shepherding its impact.
