In this exciting keynote based on his new book www.techvshuman.com, Gerd addresses the mind-boggling new opportunities as well as the “future shocks” that lie ahead as we move into a world of exponential machine intelligence and algorithmic dominance. Gerd will talk about the intersections of technology, ethics and humanity and what it may mean to be human, going forward.
