This document discusses the exponential rate of technological progress and its impact on various aspects of life. It notes that advances in areas like artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology are converging and multiplying, accelerating the overall pace of change. Examples are given of technologies like self-driving cars, mobile payment systems, and digital assistants that would have seemed futuristic just a few years ago but are now commonplace. The document warns that this rapid change will significantly disrupt many industries and jobs but that it also creates new opportunities. It emphasizes that an "exponential thinking" mindset is needed to understand and benefit from the changes brought by living in an "exponential age."
Wearable technology was on display at CES 2014, though some prototypes focused more on functionality than fashion. Data from wearables can modify user behavior if presented contextually, and car companies are exploring how wearable data can monitor drivers for safety. The vision of an interconnected Internet of Things depends on ubiquitous connectivity, but more importantly on systems that consolidate data seamlessly for personalized experiences.

This document discusses how digital technology is revolutionizing business and daily life. It outlines the rapid progression from mainframes to mobile/cloud computing. By 2020, digital technologies are expected to transform how we communicate, work, shop, and live to an even greater degree. People have become highly dependent on digital devices and expect round-the-clock access. Voice command and artificial intelligence technologies may soon allow people to control devices and access information without screens. However, this rising dependency on computers also risks them gaining more control over how humans live, learn, and make decisions.
5 Predictions for CES 2015 by O&M Chief Digital Officer, WW, @BrandonBerger #...Ogilvy
Brandon Berger predicts 5 trends for CES 2015:
1. The cloud will overtake platforms in importance as content becomes device-agnostic and accessible from any device through personal clouds.
2. All devices will be connected to the internet and tap into personal clouds, with more wearables and household appliances becoming connected.
3. Technology will become more context-aware and personalized through understanding locations, moods, behaviors and environments.
4. Smart watches will proliferate but their defining features and expected behaviors are still emerging, with payments and secondary identification prominent.
5. Content will continue expanding into all areas and being available anywhere through over-the-top services, while tools to help

Oggi molte aziende sono alla ricerca della giusta formula per l’innovazione, una soluzione preferibile per guardare al futuro. Ci sono molti modi per arrivare a soluzioni ma come disse Carveth Read: “È meglio avere vagamente ragione che essere perfettamente in torto”. Questa è la ragione per cui abbiamo deciso di affrontare questa corsa verso l’innovazione, ispirandoci a metodi non convenzionali come il Fictional, Critical e Speculative Design.
Secondo noi, anche quando i clienti sono alla ricerca di innovazioni dirompenti, abbiamo notato che spesso è difficile per loro staccarsi dalla loro realtà attuale e dai vincoli di sviluppo. Perciò abbiamo deciso di provare un approccio speculativo per allontanarli da un’attitudine legata al compito da eseguire per abbracciare l’ignoto.
In questo talk vogliamo condividere il modo in cui, a Digital Entity, stiamo iniziando a usare le metodologie legate allo Speculative Design, per ispirare e provocare i nostri clienti a confrontarsi con il futuro in modo diverso affinché siano ideatori di un mondo in cui le persone vorrebbero vivere.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is driven by advances in computing power, data storage, and algorithms. It will be more disruptive than previous technological shifts. AI techniques like machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing are making platforms and systems smart enough to learn from data and interactions to anticipate needs and automate tasks. Consumers are already using AI without realizing it through apps from Google, Facebook, Amazon, and self-driving cars. This raises expectations for smart, seamless customer experiences from businesses. The e-book will explore how companies can take advantage of AI for sales, customer service, marketing, and other business functions.
As we contemplate how to manage a tsunami of data, wearable devices are rendering technology invisible. Smaller, faster computers and microchips, tracking and measuring metrics in real-time are revolutionizing how we connect with the world.
Fashion-forward designs, developed to crunch and interpret the numbers faster than we are able to collect them, are analyzing biometrics through everything, from our eyewear to our underwear.
The wearable computing market is expected to hit $19 billion by 2018. And it’s no surprise that our co-evolution with technology is becoming the bridge between mobile communication and the Internet of Things.
Data’s ubiquity – whether push, pull or ambient – can be harnessed for efficiency, knowledge, and utility. This enables us to reframe the least renewable of all elements, time itself.
The Internet of Everything and The Quantified Self
By 2020, analysts predict that we’ll be digitally connected to everything around us. Microchips, sensors, and batteries are shifting devices from our desks, out of our hands and pockets, onto our bodies.
The ongoing capture and analysis of data enhances our self-knowledge, informing The Quantified Self, and drives The Internet of Everything, an evolving digital ecosystem. In the future objects will receive data and respond seamlessly ...the refrigerator that delivers a glass of water based on your hydration level; rooms that self-control their energy output based on who is in them; locks that open as you approach, and smart slippers that detect a fall.
In this shifting paradigm of the observer and the observed, traditional industry verticals, such as health telecommunications, automotive, and entertainment will merge into cross-functional, user-centric innovations.
Author Jeremy Rifkin describes this change as the powerful Third Industrial Revolution. People, machines and every aspect of our work and social lives are connected by big data, advanced analytics and predictive algorithms. If we stay on track, we are headed towards economies powering smarter cities, efficient business, streamlined manufacturing, and renewable energy sources. It began with the Internet and continues with the promise of our wearable future, realized by some of the following innovations.

What We Learned at CES and What Brands Have to Know – Day 2 RecapOgilvy
The 2013 International CES topped 150,000 attendees, covered 1.92 million square feet of exhibit space, unveiled 20,000 new products and showcased hundreds of speakers discussing the state of the technology industry in just four days.
But with all the hype, commotion and can-not-miss content flowing throughout the 4 day event, we wanted to find the answers to the one thing on the top of all of our minds, “What does all of this mean for my brand?”
Ogilvy & Mather broke down the 2013 International CES into bite size chunks of the most important brand takeaways and trends that you’ll find compiled within “What We Learned at CES and What Brands Have to Know – Day 2 Recap"

OgilvyOne London's Digital Labs presents a comprehensive report about this year's Consumer Electronic Show that took place in Las Vegas. For the third year in a row, the London Labs attended the show with an aim to scan, scope out and bring back the latest and most exciting technologies and trends that will have most impact in the ever-expanding business and consumer technology market. These findings help inform the predictions we make for our clients about potential future commercial application, and the potential use of those trends within the Marketing and Communication space.
Internet of Things Cyber Insights Magazine_3 MarchLeona Markham
The document discusses conflicting views from cyber security professionals at KPMG on the impacts of the Internet of Things (IoT). It introduces opinions that the IoT will:
1) Render personal privacy obsolete as more devices collect personal data and people become accustomed to sharing information for tailored services.
2) Gradually integrate into people's lives over the next 10-20 years as technology improves, costs decrease, and data collection becomes ubiquitous and expected for customized experiences.
3) Transform business landscapes and workplaces through increased automation, connectivity between devices, and reduced needs for human roles like middle management as data and decisions flow between systems.
5G will enable unprecedented speeds and connectivity, allowing billions of devices to communicate with low latency. This will enable new technologies like autonomous vehicles that can communicate in real-time to avoid accidents. 5G is expected to launch in 5 years and will further connect the internet of things, allowing services to better understand contexts and environments through ubiquitous sensing. It will drive new consumer behaviors and opportunities for innovation.
3 Barriers to Achieving Internet of Things Nirvana Ogilvy
The document discusses three key barriers to achieving the full potential of the Internet of Things (IoT):
1. Privacy concerns, trust issues, and cybersecurity risks like hacking connected devices and holding access or personal information for ransom.
2. Lack of internal interoperability as devices currently cannot communicate with each other to share and leverage combined data and capabilities.
3. Lack of external interoperability where individual IoT networks do not fully interconnect with larger external systems that could provide useful shared data and optimization.
Overcoming these barriers will require open platforms for secure device communication and incentives for manufacturers to create more interoperable products.
The document discusses emerging technologies related to mobile internet and the metaverse. It describes how context and location data will enhance mobile experiences through applications like augmented reality, mirror worlds, and lifelogging. Factors like immersion, integration and bandwidth will influence the development of virtual worlds on mobile platforms.
My keynote at the Twilio developer conference on September 19, 2013 in San Francisco. Reflections on the internet as a platform, why applications like Square, Uber, and the Google autonomous vehicle tell us what that platform makes possible, and why it's imperative for entrepreneurs to create more value than they capture. I also talk about Code for America, government as platform, and Twilio for Good.
OCHWW @ SXSW 2016: Trends and Takeaways for the Healthcare MarketerOgilvy Health
Observations and inspirations from the Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide (OCHWW) team that attended the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive 2016 festival. From virtual and augmented reality to geofencing and gaming in healthcare, our team saw it all. Here are the most impactful topics on display at this year's event.
State of the Internet Operating SystemTim O'Reilly
The document discusses the emergence of an "internet operating system" made up of loosely connected services and data sources. It provides examples of early applications that use combinations of mobile devices, cloud services, sensors and data to provide new functionality. These include local search powered by GPS, speech recognition, and business data, as well as future possibilities like real-time translation. The architecture of this emerging "internet OS" is seen as distributed and decentralized, avoiding central control and allowing innovation at the edges through open APIs and standards.
A Chinese team of researchers has recently unveiled the world’s most powerful quantum computer – capable of manipulating 66 qubits of data. At the same time, a team at Cambridge University in the UK has created a quantum computing desktop operating system – which could be as significant a step at bringing quantum capabilities into the mainstream as Microsoft’s development of MS-DOS and Windows was for classical desktop computing.
New Assumptions for Designing for the Social WebChris Messina
- The document discusses new assumptions for designing social web applications. It outlines 10 new assumptions, including that most people have already signed up for other services so applications should let users sign in with existing accounts, people want to connect with friends so it should be easy to import friends from other networks, and real identity online is becoming the norm as people share more about themselves and their connections.
Going voice first: What executives should know about the next digital disruptionLuminary Labs
This document discusses the rise of voice technology and its potential as the next digital disruption. It describes how voice interfaces using AI assistants are becoming more common through smart speakers and smartphones. While voice tech is currently early in its development, the document outlines how it could transform industries like healthcare, finance, government, automotive, hospitality, and consumer goods through new voice-enabled applications and services. However, challenges around quality, security, bias, and behavior still need to be addressed for voice interfaces to reach their full potential. The document advises executives to start experimenting with voice tech by addressing real business problems in a controlled environment to understand opportunities and unintended consequences.
Robots are everywhere, even where you would not expect. Artificial intelligence is already part of our daily lives. What are the robots among us past and present - and what is yet to come?
Technology and Trust: The Challenge of 21st Century GovernmentTim O'Reilly
My talk at the 2013 Social Innovation Summit. Democracies get their strength from the people’s trust. When the interactions that people have with government are so divorced from how they live their lives, or are hard and unpleasant, what does that do to the trust that underlies our democracies? At Code for America, we try to restore trust in government by building interfaces to essential government services that are simple, beautiful, and easy to use.
We take four approaches: 1) we work directly with government officials (at the local level) to create the capacity inside government to build innovative solutions to hard problems; 2) we build communities of technologists and citizens who want to lend their skills to help build their governments; 3) we build tools that make citizen interactions with government easier, simpler, and more elegant, so that the experience of government is positive and breeds trust. 4) We incubate and accelerate civic startups to create new
economic models for those tools.
Don’t stop believing that government can work, and can be a force for good
Our industry has talked about autonomous driving for years now. But that concept expands to what I think is the most fascinating part of this year’s Consumer Electronics Show: autonomous living.
It’s the idea that technology can tell us what we need—and help us get it—before we even realize it. Amazon’s Alexa has served as the ultimate gateway, with millions in sales this year.
Ultimately, the world of autonomous living is getting here faster than a lot of people predicted. And that means marketers need to get to work.
When all is said and done, as marketers our goal for connecting with consumers starts with identifying and creating the right value exchange, and then ensuring that we adapt our interactions around right time, right place. Autonomous living can and will take
that to the next level. And perhaps the most exciting thing about it is this: with all the advancements we’ve already seen, this is still just the beginning.

Trends you might of heard of like wearables, data and the internet of things are still around, but they’re beginning to grow-up and different industries are beginning to be disrupted as a result.
More than anything, the conference instilled a sense of responsibility in me. The decisions we make today, as people, as agencies and as brands will define the future we live in tomorrow.
The deck covers the most prominent trends from this year. I'd love to hear your thoughts, say hello @ashikachauhan.
Ashika Chauhan is Big’s Digital Experience Director and is passionate about creative innovation.

2015 International CES - What I learned at CES and what brands have to knowMatt Doherty
For the past three years I’ve attended International CES. Each year I break down the show into larger thematic takeaways and trends that every brand should know. I look for the bigger picture and implications of technology moving forward and unveil the opportunities at hand over the course of the four day conference. Give it a read. Get inspired by something. And if you have any questions give me a shout out on Twitter (@themattdoh). [Written and designed by Matt Doherty]
The document discusses emerging technologies and their impact on business and society over the next few years. It covers topics like the internet of things, augmented reality, cloud computing, mobile apps, and how businesses can adapt to remain relevant. Key points include that the internet will continue to transform everything; the internet of things will connect more devices than people; mobile apps and cloud-based services will become more important than software tied to devices; and businesses must focus on the customer experience across all channels to succeed going forward.
Centurylink Business Technology in 2020 ebookJake Weaver
By 2020, technology experts foresee that computational power will become invisible in size due to advances in chip technology. This will allow any object to become a computer, requiring people to consider how to best use all of this intelligence. Three trends will transform business - machine-to-machine technology and analytics, mobility, and cognitive computing. Additionally, the last corporate data center is expected to shut its doors as cloud computing becomes the primary method for IT infrastructure and services.
The document discusses the need for a new paradigm in how we think about and build products for the Internet of Things, as relying only on existing models like mobile apps will not be sustainable as more smart devices proliferate. It proposes moving to a model focused on discovery of nearby smart devices, controlling them through simple interactions like web pages rather than apps, and coordinating data and functionality across devices through open standards. The document argues this approach will be needed to truly realize the potential of the Internet of Things.
Our Guide to Digital disruption Update 2019John Ashcroft
This document discusses digital disruption and its causes. It identifies six global forces shaping digital disruption: 1) increasing connectivity through mobile phones and other devices, 2) the growing number of connected devices and emergence of the internet of things, 3) exponential growth in data creation and need for data storage, 4) lower barriers to market participation. These forces are accelerating changes in business models and challenging traditional companies through new entrants like Uber and Airbnb.
The document discusses major digital trends predicted for 2015, according to consultants. These include:
- Omni-channel communication, with marketing happening across all channels from one central location.
- Intelligent automation of marketing efforts through triggers, follow-ups, and personalization.
- Increased use of semantic web technologies and semantic search enabling new ways of searching and understanding user intent.
- Growing use of mobile devices for eLearning through more digestible on-the-go content.
- Data visualization and its importance in interpreting the growing volume of available data.
- Electronic payments shifting to use of mobile wallets and near field communication technology.

How New Technology Trends Will Disrupt the Very Nature of Business Dana Gardner
Transcript of a sponsored discussion on how major new trends and technology are translating into disruption, and for the innovative business -- opportunity.
Possibilities and perils of the data-driven world.joshuakauffman
I gave this lecture and led a discussion at the Future Insight summit in Oslo, Norway, March 13, 2014.
This was an introduction to subjects relating to the data-driven world, including a lengthier bit on the Quantified Self.
I improvised from the presenter notes.They give a pretty good sense of the contour of the talk.
In the Q and A session, people were mostly concerned about privacy implications of personal data collection.
My short answer is that I am also concerned, and think we need to broaden the discussion of privacy so that it transcends the concept of unwanted exposure and recenters itself on questions relating to the terms of exchange of personal data as they relate to social and economic value.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.

TrustArc Webinar - Your Guide for Smooth Cross-Border Data Transfers and Glob...TrustArc
Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer!
The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide.
To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders.
This webinar will review:
- What is a data transfer and its related risks
- How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks
- How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally
- Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Keywords: AI, Containeres, Kubernetes, Cloud Native

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
2. PROGRESS
Let’s talk about change, or as economists like to see it, progress.
We’re all junkies for progress.The cult of new, the need for a fresh perspective, to keep moving forward.
The trick is to look around you, to identify where the leaps are, the glimpses of the future.
3. The future is already here,
it’s just not very evenly
distributed.
William Gibson
4. Something as simple as glancing at your phone and seeing the travel time to your next appointment conveniently pop up, accounting for congestion and
disruption, subtly helping you get through the day more quickly and more efficiently.
15 years ago this would have involved that archaic map format the A to Z and some decent local knowledge of traffic patterns and public transport.

6. PAY WITH FACE Vs CC SWIPER
Or being able to walk into a KFC in Hangzhou, China and pay with your face. Jack Ma’s Alipay business launched face pay last month, it’s part of their
strategy to merge offline and online retail.
20 years ago we’d have been using the old Zip-Zap machines (yes that’s what they were known as)

8. Or a moment or when your car kindly lets you know it is ready to take over. 12 cameras and sensors enabling Tesla’s autopilot to navigate the journey. Elon
Musks company’s ability to start treating his cars like software and rolling out over the air updates is incredible.
9. However, of course it’s not without it’s teething issues…. yes this is a bad piece of road design, it still is an important reminder that it’s still the driver
who’s in charge
10. We only need to go back 30 years, we were being amazed that F1 and aero technology was trickling down to consumer cars in the form of ABS and traction
control. Key safety enhancements, starting to override driver decisions with technology using sensors from the car. It’s the beginning of assistive technology. B
we’ve come a long way in 30 years.
11. WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE THINGS ARE SPEEDING UP?
It may start to feel as though the pace of technology development and breakthroughs are happening much faster than we are used to. How long did it take for
all this tech to be reduced to just a couple of devices?
12. WE THINK ABOUT TECHNOLOGY SEPARATELY
SOCIAL MEDIA
SMARTPHONES
CLOUD COMPUTING
FASTER PROCESSORS
INTERNET OF THINGSROBOTICS
VR/AR
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
VOICE INTERFACES
WEARABLES
The underlying reason for this is how we look at the world.
We’re aware that processors are getting faster, that robotics are advancing and wearables are getting smarter, but we can’t help but think about these things
separately.
13. SOCIAL MEDIA

TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES CONVERGE
We can’t fathom what’s going to happen when they all converge and connect. But they’re all converging and connecting. So we need to.
Advances across different areas of technology are starting to multiply with each other, making the overall rate of change even faster.
According to Google’s futurologist Ray Kurzweil, It’s called the Law of Accelerated returns, and it means that the rate of change is not linear, but exponential
14. THE EXPONENTIAL AGE
Looking at computing, in just over 100 years we
get to insect level performance. But in just 8
years computers will have the same power as
one human brand, and not long till all humans.
We’re living in the exponential age
15. Struggling to get your head round this? That’s because our human instincts and
intuition looks for patterns in the past. It’s almost impossible for us to internalise
this rate of change.
And that’s why progress is so remarkable when we see it. Just when you think
you’ve got your head round the rate of change, it goes and accelerates.
So to try and help you.. According the law of accelerated returns, the 21st century
will feature 1,000 times the technological progress of the twentieth century
18. RAY KURZWEIL: ELASTIC NEO CORTEX
Google Futurist Ray Kursweil Imagines a world where we’re augmented by the cloud. Our brains offload
some processing to the internet.
Kurzweil predicts that humans will become hybrids in the 2030s.That means our brains will be able to
connect directly to the cloud, computers will augment our existing intelligence.
"Our thinking then will be a hybrid of biological and non-biological thinking,” The bigger and more
complex the cloud, the more advanced our thinking. By the time we get to the late 2030s or the early
2040s, Kurzweil believes our thinking will be predominately non-biological.
He’s also famously predicted the Singularity, let’s ask our friendly conversational UI what is the
singularity?
20. In my view the single most powerful force driving this kind of progress today is AI. When we look at any particular field experiencing a leap in
progress and start to analyse what the enabling technologies were that caused that change, we usually find some AI or Machine Learning in the
mix.
Google’s AI - Assistant is rolling out across all android devices, google home and of course the smart watches, the sheer scale of google and it’s
data mass mean that it’s quickly going to become one of the most successful platforms.
Developers can now create Google Actions, which can include purchase and payment, similar to Amazon’s Alexa skills.
21. Of course the battle is on between the behemoths to dominate the home tech space, with the smart virtual assistants being the number one weapon of mass
influence. Why?
The closer they can get into your life, the more influence and control they can have. Building a successful tech product is about building a habitually engaged
audience. Your company becomes the go-to for everything.
Of course it’s not only consumer focussed AI, back office and B2B services using AI to provide efficiencies and identify new opportunities are where some of the
biggest gains are seen
22. Tomorrows
insurance
companies will be
data companies.
The big story here is about data.
I’m sure I can’t be the first to say this, perhaps not even the first to say this today.
Tomorrows insurance companies will be data companies.
However when I look at industries that are changing fastest due to data, it’s got to be
insurance.
23. The ones to watch out for are the GAFA, Google, Apple Facebook and Amazon
They will soon be able to offer insurance cheaper and more effectively than traditional insurance houses. Why? Because they have all the data. Knowing
more about you than your family they can price your risk more efficiently than any other entity.Those with the data are the ones with the power.
Do I think they are likely to start offering insurance? no. But the implication is clear, unless insurance companies have great data sources on their customers
and use that to optimise their business, it’s going to be easier for new market entrants to purchase data feeds from large providers and create disruptive
new models.
24. PEOPLE ARE
GETTING SAVVY &
SCARED ABOUT
THIER DATA
However consumers are of course becoming more wary of the data captured
by companies, they are starting to know more about us than even our most
intimate of friends or family. As the Guardian recently reported, a user
received over 800 pages from Tinder when she asked for her data to be
exported and sent to her. It’s an eye opening read. 870 matches, 1700
messages, the night of 16 compulsive concurrent conversations then Ghosting
them al the next morning. We’re all coaxed into sharing the deepest secrets
then it is commercialised.
The data value exchange will become increasingly hard to make work for
customers, they’ll be looking for very tangible benefits in return for handing
over personal information.
25. IOT: Risk mitigation to
risk avoidance
One hypothesis is that as more data is collected and acted upon the
role insurers will play will evolve into one that is closely aligned with
the consumer’s own needs.
So rather than being a financial safety net, the job is actually helping
the consumer avoid the eventuality they are insuring against.
By helping the consumer live a more healthy life or by adding sensors
to their home risk is reduced and therefore premiums can come down.
Great news for the consumer, and something that should start to
trigger conversations about business models in this room.
26. IBM’S INTERNET OF CARING THINGS
Sticking on IOT - IBM are working on The Internet of Caring Things
and are starting to look at how can the spaces we live in can be more
responsive to our needs. Ambient assistive living.
Passive sensors hooked up to IBM Watson capable of inferring
meaning from the signals received.
How often a fridge was opened, when the light was turned on etc can
help a carer know if someone needs assistance.
27. AUTOMATION WILL TAKE SOME JOBS
As we talk about robots and AI we probably have to talk about the aspect of job
replacement.
This slightly hypnotic video is a Chinese postal warehouse where robots sort over
200,000 parcels per day.
The RSA have predicted robots 'could take 4m UK private sector jobs within 10 years’.
Most of the replacements to be highest in the transportation and finance and
accounting sectors.
29. But before we panic too much we should bear in mind that we’ve survived it before.The last couple of centuries have seen industrialisation, automation
and computerisation take the load off large swathes of our planet.
In 1790, 90% of the population of the US were employed in the agricultural sector, by 2011, it was 1.7%.
‘What humans do’ has changed enormously and is more focused than ever on maximising the potential of our creative and emotional abilities– things that
can’t be mechanised.
My advice on that front is to think about what ai & robots are great at and what humans are great at. There will be many jobs that frankly would be much
better if robots did them, poorly paid, dangerous, repetitive jobs in hostile or unpleasant environments.

Time.The scarcest resource, the only one that we cannot replenish.
What is interesting is that our perceptions of time change depending on the medium we’re
consuming content.
As part of their IQ research team Facebook conducted some research into behaviours on
mobile vs desktop.
They showed participants two different videos - one on mobile and one on desktop and
asked them to estimate how long they were. People who viewed the video on smartphone
estimated them to be 30% shorter than the desktop viewers.The videos were the same
length.

All this reducing attention span drives us to want things more quickly, we life in the
now. There is no delayed gratification, there is no wait and see. Amazon Prime can
deliver me cold beer in less than an hour.
Perhaps that’s also why as of this year more people are googling ‘nearest’ over
‘cheapest’ urgency and convenience have become one of the biggest drivers.
37. EXPONENTIAL THINKING
SO what now? How do we make sense of all this change, how do we start to apply it in our own jobs and our own worlds?
The answer I think lies back in our roots.
You probably all know the origins of Lloyds of London back in the 16th century coffee shops in London.

Various investors underwrote percentages of a ships cargo to insure it against the risks posed by the ravages of the seas.
Well those coffee shops were important in the development of our modern society, academia, especially physics, our business landscape, you name it it probably
had it’s genesis in those coffeeshops.
Why? Because they were about the meeting of the great minds of the time. A place and context where views were challenged, wagers made, alliances born. The
same is true of an event like this, a moment where many minds will come together to create a new future. Now let’s debate what it might be.
