Why Is Foresight Needed? (Podcast Introduction) Ep #01

Welcome to the Future Tech and Foresight Podcast, where a diverse range of emerging technologies and their future consequences will be explored via discussions with technology leaders, researchers, futurists etc. The Podcast was previously known as the automated podcast but it has been updated and re-branded to go beyond automation, technological unemployment and the future of work (though this will of course still be considered) I’ll get into why the rebranding happened in a bit but first I wanted to set the stage for why a podcast like this is important. I hope the intro with the clips of some well known futurists gave a hint as to its importance but let’s look a bit deeper.
