Description
Taking a break from the usual monologue, this week I had the privilege of engaging in a profound conversation with the esteemed Kevin Surace a recognized Futurist and influential figure from Silicon Valley. If you aren't familiar with his name, you're certainly familiar with his work and likely use it daily.Throughout our discussion, we delved into the intricate topic of artificial intelligence, its burgeoning role in our everyday lives, and the striking similarities to the early days of Excel in the finance sector. For those curious about the historical trajectory of technology and its impact on occupations – spanning from the invention of the wheel to the advent of ATMs – this conversation promises to enlighten. Additionally, we ventured into the complex terrain of human behavior and its intersection with technology.I won't unveil all the insights here. Instead, I invite you to immerse yourself in our discussion, comprehend the impending future, and contemplate how we, collectively, can maneuver through the current wave of technological advancements.
As always, it's essential to remember that beyond the machinery and algorithms, it's the human element that often matters most.
