from Risk Roundup · host Jayshree Pandya PhD
Christian Kromme, a visionary thinker, futurist, an expert in disruptive technologies, keynote speaker, and the author of the best-selling book ‘Humanification – Go Digital, Stay Human’ from the Netherlands participates in Risk Roundup to discuss – Technology Trends and Humanification. Technology Trends and Humanification Each one of us across nations currently stands on the verge of the most turbulent and transformative period in all human history. As the computer code, connected computers, internet, advances in technology and the rapidly emerging technological convergence creates a technological tsunami, it is fundamentally changing human lives—and the very meaning to be a “human”. Irrespective of the stone age, industrial age, digital age, or space age; technology has always given us the necessary tools through which we can address the challenges related to being human, human survival, and sustainability. Since technology is embedded in everything we as individuals or entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) have done in the past, do today, and will do in the coming tomorrow; it is fair to say that, technology is built into every single interaction that we the humans have today and will have in the coming tomorrow. Since technology gives us the foundation for human survival and sustainability, it is fundamental that we understand which technologies are trendsetters, and which technology trends are helping to change the human ecosystem as we know it. It is important to evaluate this further. Based on the technology trends, what is the future of humanity?What parallels are there between biological and technological developments, revolutions and evolution?Is exponential growth in technology advancing humanity towards a more meaningful and purposeful future?How do we make sense of humanification?Since humanity has gone through many waves of disruption based on the advances in science and technology, how is this disruption different than the others?How did each wave of disruption change humanity?How are the fundamental pillars of humanity evolving in the coming years?What would it mean to be human in the coming years?What is the impact of technology that is coming our way? Are we rising to the challenge?Since technology gives us the foundation on which we can define and design the human ecosystem, where would science and technology take us in the coming years?What is the “Future of Technology”? Conclusion Since what we do with technology matters for human survival, security and sustainability, discussing technology trends and understanding their impact is a fundamental need. Time is now to evaluate, understand, and manage the security risks emerging from the advances in technology. Time is now to talk about “Technology Trends”!
