Keynote Presentation — ETHIC: Leveraging The Human Factor In the Age of Artificial Intelligence and Accelerated Change.

Innovation, Ethics, and Artificial Intelligence Keynote Presentation

The landscape of contemporary industry has changed forever. We live in a new world where the tectonic plates of culture are shifting faster than we can keep up. We have moved from the industrial age to the information age, and now are entering the post-knowledge age. Acceleration at a breakneck pace is the new normal. Some call this the age of machine learning, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, Blockchain economy, robotics, and mobile commerce.

The Future of Work

McKinsey Global Institute estimates that by 2030, close to 30% of occupations in the U.S. will be automated. There will be a massive impact, dislocation, and job creation as a result of these technologies. Uncertainty over the future creates anxiety and insecurity. But embedded in the unknown are incredible opportunities for a flourishing life and society.

• In our pursuit of innovation using advanced technologies, how can we create and commercialize, yet do it in an ethical way that builds trust?
