WHAT THE TOP FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY SPEAKERS AND FUTURISTS THINK ABOUT EMERGING INNOVATIONS

Each year as exponential tech advances accelerate innovation cycles and global disruption across industries, future of technology speakers and other keen observers convene at TechVision’s worldwide events. The most acclaimed futurists gather on stage as future of technology speakers to present their most credible visions for emerging technologies a decade or more forward. Recently, several mind-blowing futures stole the spotlight.

In a prominent keynote, consulting futurologist Dr. Hodgson detailed milestones along the pathway for advanced AI to achieve robust social intelligence by 2035. The deep learning pioneer described innovations in representing human context, emotions and empathy in machine algorithms. With proper controls against institutional biases increasingly built-in, the future of technology speaker asserted AI could gain widespread trust for tasks from healthcare to education.

Later on, expert advisor Jai Kisan took the audience on a visually dazzling tour of intersections between biotech, computing and cognition. The featured future of technology speaker revealed breakthrough applications melding microbiome profiling, neural interfaces, quantum sensors, digital twins modeling and cloud analytics to substantially enhance human intelligence and physiological function within 15 years. From eliminating chronic disease before symptoms arise to demonstrating telepathic collaboration through brain-to-brain networks, Kisan left the crowd impressed.

No tech visioning summit would be complete without exploring computing post-silicon. On that front, future of technology speaker Dr. Rebecca Park detailed pending innovations in photonic, DNA and quantum computing addressing scale, speed and complexity challenges nearing the physical limits for traditional semiconductors. She projected 50-qubit quantum computers reliably demonstrating practical business uses by the late 2020s. D-Wave’s latest advances support such optimism.

While plenty of uncertainty surrounds distant horizons, attendees left imbued with a sense of hopeful possibility for technology positively uplifting human potential. The community of leading future of technology speakers at TechVision constitutes a group whose projections policymakers worldwide already take seriously for their high impact through accuracy over decades. Exponential change can seem abstract until such experts reveal specific innovations poised to manifest much sooner than imagined.
