KEEP IN MIND
The goal is not to become an expert in the
technologies, but to know where the technologies are
headed so you can jump on the wave.
● How to leverage it
● How to wrap strategies around it

REMINDER...
“If you go back 500 years, not much changed in a century. Now a
lot happens in 6 months. Technology feeds on itself and it gets
faster and faster.”
“In about 40 years the pace of change is going to be so
astonishingly quick that you won't be able to follow it unless you
enhance your own intelligence by merging with the intelligent
technology we are creating.”
~Ray Kurzweil

...and it’s only getting better.
Thank you technology.

CLEAN OUT THE BAD STUFF
100 becomes
the new 60.

CRYONICS
Technology not
moving fast enough
for you?

POPULATION PROBLEM?
Studies have shown that as
education rates go up, birth
rates go down.
In addition, as lifespan
increases, women are
having children later in life.
And technology continues
to turn scarcity into
abundance.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF AI
We’ve hit a tipping point.
Watching AI get smarter is
like watching a bullet train.
The moment you see it
coming, it’s already blown
past you.

PERSONAL ASSISTANTS
Next generation ‘Siris’
will know us better than
we know ourselves.

PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS
What could you
accomplish with your
own personal JARVIS?

MEDICAL DIAGNOSES
“IBM’s Watson is better at
diagnosing cancer than
human doctors.”
wired.co.uk/article/ibm-watson-medical-doctor

ELIMINATING FRICTION
The real value of artificial
intelligence is not in replacement,
but in complement.
Smart personal assistants will
allow us to adopt new
technologies and changes
seamlessly.

CONVERGING YOUR WORLD
“Ford meets Amazon.
Automaker to
integrate Echo and
Alexa with SYNC,
linking cars to homes
[through AI].”
geekwire.com/2016/ford-working-on-amazon-echo-integration-connecting-cars-to-homes

A QUICK NOTE...
There’s plenty of doom and gloom spread
about the future of AI.
Keep in mind that when general AI gets here, we will
be much more intelligent ourselves...

PROGRAMMING GENIUS
The largest
gene-sequencing facility in
the world (BGI) is searching
for the DNA markers for
genius.

BRAIN/CLOUD INTERFACE
Imagine being able pull up
“memories” stored in the cloud, or
run a Google search simply by
thinking it.
Ray Kurzweil predicts by the early
2030s we will have brain implants
that connect us into the cloud,
directly.
money.cnn.com/2015/06/03/technology/ray-kurzweil-predictions/index.html

DIGITIZING OUR WORLD
● Satellites imaging Earth (0.5 m resolution)
● Autonomous cars imaging everything within 100 m
● Augmented reality headgear (1 mm resolution)
● Drones imaging cities (1 cm resolution)

SELF REPLICATING
80-90% of 3D printer
parts and be 3D
printed.
It can replicate itself.
Send one printer to a
location and they can
create more printers
on site.

NOT JUST FOR TOYS ANYMORE
FAA is approving 3D printed
parts for commercial flight.
