See keynotes with Timothy PapandreouMore than half the world’s population now lives in cities, a trend that is accelerating, luring millions of people to relocate from the countryside in search for a better life. At the same time, cities are increasingly vulnerable to growing complexities from this radical growth. Technology is only a tool and yet it is disrupting how we live, work, and get around. Our way of life has changed more in the past five years than the previous 50 – and the next ten will have even greater changes. We can’t afford business as usual.
The converging trends of AI, automation, blockchain, biological planning, and on-demand “lifestyle as service” have already started and they will continue to accelerate profound changes to all our lives in both subtle and dramatic ways. No one group can do this alone, we must center our communities and bring together government, business, and educators to develop real smart policies to solve these very complex system problems to not only survive but thrive in this once-in-a- generation opportunity. In this captivating speech, Tim explores the intersection of AI and emerging technologies, sustainability, and innovative infrastructure – and how life as we know it will never be the same again.
Key Takeaways:
A revolutionary technique using courage, audacious goals, and disruptive technology is identifying a ‘third way’ of achieving success. The outcomes are commercializing radical solutions and challenging what we thought wasn’t possible.
Timothy Papandreou spent years at the renowned innovation division of Google X – the ‘Moonshot Factory’ – positioned at the apex of a global problem, a radical solution, and breakthrough technology. Synonymous with the Google X brand, the ‘Moonshot’ philosophy (named after John F. Kennedy’s dream to send a man to the moon) refers to a future-oriented method of solving humankind’s most challenging obstacles. A definitive example of a Moonshot innovation is self-driving cars – the exact project Tim worked on – helping the Google X team deliver Waymo to market.
The mega trends of AI-centered automation, DNA sequencing, energy storage, blockchain and robotics are simultaneously converging, resulting in self perpetuating innovation like never before. In this riveting speech, Tim takes the audience on a journey to think big, fear less, and land the Moonshot.
Key Takeaways:
The future of work – whether it is remote, onsite, hybrid or all the above – is upending all our preconceived notions of leadership, team performance, the workplace, and work-life balance. Generative AI tools like open AI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard are already disrupting tasks and roles in professional services while manual tasks in manufacturing and construction are being robotized. In addition, key emerging technologies such as blockchain and automation are already changing work tasks, creating new job opportunities, streamlining processes, and further accelerating disruption while increasing value in the workplace.
Workplace culture is the glue that keeps organizations together. All these trends (especially AI) are challenging leaders to rethink their team and keep them happy, healthy, and productive. Tim provides his audience with practical, hands-on experience to seize the latest emerging technology tools and create a highly effective, competitive, and resilient work culture, where wellness is at the center of the new never-normal workplace.
Key Topics:
The mega trends of automation, generative artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are simultaneously converging, resulting in self-perpetuating innovation like never before. It’s no wonder that people are searching for highly-skilled tech practitioners to lead the expedition through the disruptive realm of innovation s-curves.
As an early participant in the AI revolution, Timothy Papandreou was part of Google’s self-driving company, Waymo, which launched the world’s first AI robo-taxi and robo-trucking service. Tim currently holds a coveted role as a special advisor to X, the Moonshot Factory (Google’s top secret AI and ML innovation lab), giving him hands-on experience with bleeding-edge technology. His unique insights are vital and inimitable.
Tim breaks down AI and all its components in simple- to-understand terms to prepare audiences as they begin their automation transition journey. He provides actionable insights to dispel the myths, cut through the hype, and clarify the state of play so organizations can seize AI opportunities while minimizing the negative impacts.
