History tells us that it is a predictable certainty that humans with tools prevail over (and sometimes wipe out) those without. It has happened again and again - from the distant past, where homo sapiens wiped out other human-like species who could not use fire, to the middle ages, where those with guns prevailed over those with bows and arrows, to the very recent past, where those with armed drones win against those without.
You are now in an era where humans who partner with A.I.s and own bots will outcompete you.
If you are not an A.I. user, you are at extreme risk of becoming an A.I. loser.
I have spent the past two years getting ready for this world.
I recently presented my thoughts and learnings on these topics and A.I. to a group of senior executives in Barcelona as part of the L.S. Elevate conference.
On popular demand, I am publishing this 1-hour long recorded video of the presentation so more people can see it and start preparing themselves for this upcoming opportunity. (or is it a forthcoming catastrophe?)
The key points and running order are:
The future - a place where A.I. runs everything
Humans - retreat/expand into virtual worlds
Humanity - co-evolves with A.I.
Technology - becomes ubiquitous and invisible
Business - needs to be reimagined
But first … what is A.I.?
A commoditised service
A prediction machine
Is AI intelligent? is it sentient?
Man Vs Man + AI

Transformation by applying A.I. to a prediction challenge at the strategy level
Effectiveness by applying A.I. to a prediction challenge at the jobs and task levels
Efficiency by applying A.I, to a prediction challenge at the workflow level

The concepts in this presentation are at the heart of my A.I. frameworks. As I publish them over the upcoming year, I will delve deep into these topics, concepts and tools. Here is your opportunity to get a broad overview and a sneak preview right up front.
I hope you enjoy the presentation and it inspires you to use A.I. to transform both your life and work.
As always, I very much appreciate your thoughts and comments.
