What if AI wasn’t just a tool—but a teammate? In this episode of Underrated to Unstoppable, I sit down with futurist and speaker Neil Redding to explore the next wave of AI. Neil shares why the future of work isn’t about replacing people with technology, but about creating more humanity through it. By skillfully connecting the possible with the practical, Neil Redding is a Near Futurist and Innovation Architect with 30+ years of experience in unlocking the transformative power of emerging technologies. A sought-after keynote speaker for venues like SXSW, Dubai Future Forum, and AWE, and at corporate events for Meta, Microsoft, and more, Neil inspires audiences with the reality-shifting capabilities of AI and spatial computing for our physical, digital and natural ecosystems, and for activating pragmatic interpersonal and business value. Through his boutique consultancy Redding Futures and previous roles, Neil has worked with world-class brands including Visa, Nike, Apple, and Verizon to distill these continually emerging possibilities, applying ecosystem-centered design to unlock sustainable growth, resilience, and transformative business opportunity.
