 Thank you. So it's a pleasure to be here. I have in here my instant finish Hello, it's a great pleasure to be back in beautiful Finland. The sun is shining and the future is already here Was that good there you have it my instant finish and Science fiction is becoming science fact The other day I was in Japan at a sushi restaurant and I had a conversation with the sushi chef for half an hour In Japanese and I spoke in German as long as we keep it simple. It's working This kind of thing is truly star trek You can expect in a few years will be able to speak fluently more or less not like we're speaking but very close in what 30 languages Imagine what's gonna happen to call centers 21 million people working call centers 95% of those the machine can probably substitute at least sort of on the superficial level right as long as compassion isn't required Which you're not getting from call centers anyway So the future is here. It's it's it's everywhere. We just have to pay more attention to it You know and sometimes I say so jokingly. They can be experts on the past, but you can't really be an expert on the future You have to have imagination That's the most important skill So I'm gonna start with this and saying this is really what I do is my job right is to listen To observe my job is not to predict. I Think that's extremely difficult. I mean just 20 years you can say that That's a tall order to think about 20 years I mean my job is to do this and I have the saying assume less and discover more There's a great South African proverb that says assumptions are the termites of relationships Especially in business. It's funny You know we we tend to assume that we we can just repeat what used to work and it will continue to work And then it will just be better or faster But let me remind you of one thing the the future is not an extension of the present It is a complete opposite But I used to be in the music business we sold records, you know those round things that yeah plastic We sold records Do you sell records today in the music business? You don't it's in the cloud In fact, you could say today. You don't sell music at all It's 20 million songs on Spotify for 10 euros I mean we can hardly call that selling music right. It's a whole different universe So we have to pay attention to what's going on Here's an example. I mean this curve shows you were living in one of the most amazing times in human history I mean the things that are becoming possible robotics Genome sequencing energy storage solar energy self-driving cars speaking machines You know all kinds of things that we use every day You know making free phone calls and having music in the cloud and any TV program we want. I Mean it's It's exciting and then we have stuff like this where we say wow human genome sequencing the the cost of DNA sequencing Used to be a hundred million dollars now. It's eight hundred fifty dollars and Five years will be five dollars in ten years. It'll be completely normal You can have your DNA sequence on your mobile phone in ten seconds while you're arranging the next date So if you're looking to quickly get an answer on your healthcare problems that will be boom just like that mind-boggling future and Also, of course quite scary when we look at these what I call the game changes in my book It's basically eight different things is the cloud data the internet of things Thinking machines or artificial intelligence quantum computing the blockchain I Mean it's enough to make your head spin when you're not deeply inside like oh my god This is all happening at the same time and they're all coming together to create new possibilities. I Mean think about Airbnb folks not what how Airbnb wouldn't be possible without the mobile phone without social media Without the cloud without intelligence if you're looking to rent your place in Airbnb You don't have to guess how much it's worth You let the artificial intelligence find out all the places around you to determine the price for your rent in four seconds I mean they used to agonize for hours about how my apartment is going to be rented for how much now It's four seconds. I mean mind-boggling So these game changes and what we have to understand in the future There's eight of them and we can look at more detail when we talk about the other slides later So basically what we see here is a move towards the future to where We can safely say that I sometimes call this the digital transformer where everything around us is becoming smart You know 90% of people who want to talk to me they want to talk about digital transformation It's so funny that we always joke around the office and say what is actually digital transformation But basically just to sort of use a more cartoon language You know you stick in the old business you put it in the transformer and Outcome the smart business So that is smart banking that does exist. Yeah smart insurance smart media smart cities Smart environment, maybe even smart politics. Yeah Maybe even a possibility of connecting everybody there. I mean we're looking at a world that's in Totally different smart everything. That's the low-hanging fruit. And here's the challenge When we talk about the world getting smart There's gonna be a lot of wisdom required to figure out. What do we do about the data? How do we keep it safe? Of course, you know that everything that connects is a benefit, but when it connects it creates also risk We can't have one of the other without having the both together. I mean, it's a huge challenge I always say that the more we connect the more we must protect and That's a strange thing to say obviously because it's hard to be connected and Then protect, you know right now we're connected with maybe mobile banking or media or music But in the future our health care records our driving our food our banking Going into the cloud we talked about this earlier right in the discussion on the on the stage here The bottom line really on this is that trust isn't digital You know trust is not something you can download You say now, but how do I download an app for this relationship? It's something that we feel and There is a fundamental problem with technology technology doesn't feel anything Why should it and how should it right doesn't exist if you've seen the movie her Anybody seen the movie her it's this amazing film where they think a guy falls in love with this operating system And it's his computer as a daily occurrence now And he finds out at the end, you know the problem with the computer is it doesn't have a body It doesn't exist and it has three thousand six hundred forty other relationships at the same time Because it doesn't exist So very important for us to realize here what it takes in that future is to navigate those game changes That's for business government for ourselves. What do we do? What did we not do? And I have suggested many times before I'll say it again I think we need every politician every public official and of course CEOs as well to have a driver's license To get a driver's license for the future. I mean I live in Switzerland And I can tell you when I speak to politicians about the future. They talked to me about copyright law Like what are you talking about? We're talking about genetic engineering. We're talking about intelligent machines We're talking about quantum computing and you want to find out what's up with the legal downloads We're talking about automation of jobs up to 40 50 60 percent of our routine jobs About changing education to keep up with technology And you know I always saying this I'm an optimist. I think all of these game changes will power our society in unprecedented ways But not with us without us taken charge of it You know the funny thing is about technology is I think you all notice this by now Technology does not solve social or political problems Because it doesn't understand them and these are emotions right these are about trust these are about humanity Technology doesn't know what to do with this. I mean technology even the most advanced technology is binary, right? Yes, no, yes, no if this than that input output That's not how humans work In fact, you could say the technology has made social political problems worse amplified them as We see with Facebook and social media comment on that later So that's something we have to keep a very good eye on which way are we going? Do you know how to navigate these game changes? I Mean if you're a business person, then this is just your own business that that may be at issue here But if you're running a state if you're the mayor of Helsinki You can have to really understand this because I'm not I'm not talking about 50 years here I'm talking about five years ten years. Maybe 20 years at the most We're all going to see the rise of technology to be infinitely capable in our lifetimes even me the kids of our kids Will live to be between a hundred and a hundred twenty years old because of technology and There's already about 40 companies in San Francisco in the Bay Area talking about the end of dying This is kind of bizarre story, right, but this is real. This is a business proposal How much would you give to live forever? so Chapter three in my book is about the mega shifts and you can download this entire chapter for free at Megaships.digital and basically what it says is that, you know, we're not living in a world where transformation is just digitization or it's actually 11 things coming together at the same time Robotization virtualization automation Platformization which I'll talk more about they're all coming together and when you have this many things moving You're not gonna find an objective. Yes or no answer. I get this question all the time Is this right or is this wrong is AI good or is it bad? Well, the answer is of course it depends. I mean we're talking about technology here is a telephone bad a Telephone is bad Because it can lead to the fact that you won't go over there and make a personal visit. That's what people argued about the telephone technology always has both You know both parts to it and we have to keep a very good eye on this So now you have businesses now moving into domains where they don't even belong like Facebook is now Rumor to offer a cryptocurrency a digital currency 2.5 million people Are going to be connected on Facebook money digital money Now we have the biggest companies in the world getting into healthcare Amazon and JP Morgan Now you have of course Apple getting into healthcare Everybody is getting to into everybody else's turf and now you have all these things happening for example BMW and Mercedes that teaming up for mobility This is the lesson that we must learn for ourselves look outside of your current domain You want to be successful in the future look outside The future competitors for a bank or for whatever is not going to be the other banks I mean go back to the music business who is in charge of the music business now Sony music EMI Universal or so they still hold the licenses to you know Michael Jackson and They have to give those and they collect money for that, right? But who is it really in charge of the music business today? YouTube Spotify and everybody else that's out there in the tech world So this is lesson that we have to learn also when we think about the future And we're going into a future that is going to be sucking us into a huge digital vortex And there's not much we can do about not doing that. I mean we can say okay. We won't participate Offline is the new luxury. I agree on that It's gonna be very hard for us to not opt-in to some of these things. So the future skills that we need first observation if I ask you about what's gonna happen in the next five years, do you have an answer? Well, that's about your country or your city or your job or the role at your end. That's important understanding understanding is not facts understanding is understanding the things that are between the facts Having the context I'd known more than the machine imagination Einstein once said imagination is more important than knowledge. I Was very easy for Einstein to say he was a genius But what did we need our kids to know? I mean our kids are gonna grow up in a world where some statistics say 70% of all new jobs haven't even been invented yet and 50% of those jobs aren't gonna be jobs are gonna be gigs Called in the gigs economy. I mean, what do I kids our kids and ourselves? What do we need the most and foremost? creativity imagination intuition understanding You know the human part of what we are Creation if You're gonna teach your kids anything this would be it Imagination and creativity because that's every job is gonna require this everything else will be done by machines You can see that clearly shaping up and with which way it's going. That's what I call the future mindset And I think this is what we have to have here in Europe You know we used to think that Europe is behind. I mean I left America for 14 years and Everybody in America used to love about Europe, you know how slow we are can't agree on anything And you know, they're slow democratic process So however now today, we're finding out and actually there's one great thing that we have here in Europe And that is that we're all humanists We all want to be human basically you can't say that about Silicon Valley You'd be surprised to hear They want to be superhuman Not just human So a great thing that we have in Europe is that if we take the future mindset and we put that with humanity I think we have a great story for the future. That's why I'm such an optimist about what I call the United States of Europe That sounds crazy right to say that today Looking at all the trends that go against it, but I think this is really important So look in the future. This is really what's happening. Humanity and technology are converging. I Mean essentially my mobile device is my external brain my second brain My music isn't there my news isn't there my dating isn't there if you if I was to do dating my banking and so on and For some of our kids is the first brain It's all they use right just everything is in there so we're going to converge in this way and I would say we're going to change more in the next 20 years than the previous 300 years and I don't mean this as a threat Don't misunderstand me. I think it's going to be amazing But every potential needs to be channeled Every technology that's amazing needs to be put in the context of why it's amazing what it's supposed to do and it needs to be for everybody You know not just for the ones that can afford a million euro genetic engineering operation so they can live longer And we have to use some imagination of this and see which way I want to go three things that matter here most first We're changing exponentially You've heard this many times before Moore's law medical law, but the fact is we are exploding at every 18 months We're doubling the power of technology and then we have all these different sciences coming together Nano design nano energy and material design Artificial intelligence super computing coming together and now you have sectors like a medical in the medical world where information technology and Biotech are converging I Don't know if you're under any of you take any pills for example cholesterol pills or statins Do you really think in 10 years? We're going to take a pill That solves these problems We'll still be taking some pills, but there's so many things that we can do with technology To monitor to prevent to read our DNA and say if you do this then this will happen Because it happened to two million other people Mean every pharma company in the world will become a technology company And many tech companies are looking to get into a health care This is convergence. So three things Exponential combinatorial convergent When you talk about the feature of government, this is what we have to think about This is not going to be a gradual process. It's going to be a leaping process. It's going to be combinatorial It's going to converge with other industries The most important thing in this formula Using this triple formula is that we make sure that everything that we do is human centric Because this is not about efficiency. We should not make efficiency more important than humanity This is the great thing that we always do you know, we look at technology We say oh, this is much more efficient. So I use tinder. I just swipe and boom. I have a date, you know But it's not the same thing. I can download the app on my iPad to make me an instant DJ in 10 hours But that's not the same than being a musician that has studied for 10,000 hours It doesn't mean it's bad. It's just different We have to understand how this comes together Because this is really what's happening right science fiction is becoming science fact I Use this as an image of saying that we're essentially becoming sort of superhuman I don't know if you've ever tried for example the HoloLens virtual reality glasses You feel like when you're aware of this you can you can see the world at a thousand times as fast It's gonna be mind-boggling So use a couple examples I'm gonna stop it here because you know I go over the next two hours Basically the way that we're looking at this was saying God this used to be you know This used to be straight out of Star Trek I mean a tube that goes into a trainer goes into a tube and goes 800 kilometers an hour the hyperloop without crashing Connecting Abu Dhabi in Dubai. That's already being built. I mean mind-boggling So many people look at this and they're saying oh my god, the future is going to be terrible Because it's all happening is overwhelming The last three years I talked to people when I'm traveling and almost everybody says the future is not going to be good This is not just because of Donald Trump right or the Brexit There's two major arguments one climate change, which is a huge challenge for us and something that is unavoidable for us And the second one is the robots will come and then they will take our work and after that they'll kill us I mean, this is a serious concern. We talked to a 25 year old kid They're saying what should I learn because the bots will learn it all anyway Maybe we'll just you know become a robot repair person What you don't know about your garage door will kill you it's official you can't eat wheat bread Someone's been stealing packages. They call them porch pirates All I'm saying is that in five years robots will be able to do your job your job Are you listening always Denise in a world full of fear Simply safe on home is the place you should simply feel safe Now here's a commercial for a company that makes a home surveillance system and their argument is the world is going to be bad I mean, this is really what we're up against but I think really what's happening is that it's actually opposite The future is better than we think We just don't hear about it enough If you watch any movies you're gonna watch black mirror and X machine and transcendence and you know And he's like oh my god. This is all gonna happen. It's terrible because the AIs are here So this is something we have to think about because these are the facts, right? declining poverty Hans Roestring talked about this a lot in his talks, right? Rest in peace life expectancy increasing. You know, we're all going to live to be close to a hundred in the near future Child mortality basically not going towards zero, but very close solar panels That's been clear for a long time and what's even more important of course the cost of batteries I mean, I could give you a hundred facts like this and saying well the present is already better And so that's not worried too much about that because the bottom line really is this in this world And there's a bunch of things that we're going to achieve in the next 20 years And they sound really crazy when you think about this We're gonna solve food. We're gonna solve water. We're gonna solve energy We're gonna solve diseases There's one thing we can't solve this way and that's this right How we govern wisely That's your job, but you're you're doing this here. That's why we're here How do we govern wisely? Because we can't download that Wisdom is not something we can download trust is not something we can get on an app or on the internet These two things data and Artificial intelligence are changing our world completely today if you talk to anybody in business or otherwise It's all about who has the data who makes money with the data Who has the intelligent machines? I mean I heard earlier, but you were becoming sort of a leader in this issue of AI. I Think that's it. That's gonna be a tough one But you know clearly I mean this is McKinsey says a hundred fifty trillion dollar economy just those two things and It's us in China. That's it Our research has to go there to do this work And here's the fact of you know what's happening and this is what I what I call the platform economy The companies that use data and artificial intelligence are becoming empires platform companies more powerful than standard oil Many of them are my clients. I have to be careful But think about this for a second where this is gonna take us look at these numbers These are the top 20 platform companies technology companies The top four of these guys have more money than the GDP of France I mean basically they could buy France I don't think they're thinking about that, but I Mean, this is the powerful situation. Are we're going to see regulation here? Absolutely I mean these companies are more powerful than oil and gas ever was or banking That brings me to Facebook 2.4 billion users 40% of people In most developed countries get their news on Facebook And what news do they get they get the news that's curated by an AI? By an artificial intelligence to help me stay there as long as possible so I can buy more stuff or look at more commercials To my important situation. I left Facebook nine months ago after a lot of debates, you know in terms of being a user And I think this is really what's happening now when we think about what happens there is that we both get addicted to social media I'm sure you know what that means We're sort of the cracker for the of the nervous system and we get inside of this and then we believe the stuff It's in there. Our mind is being distorted. We don't have objective news anymore and we're being data-mined and All in the name of making lots of money, you know Facebook is the most successful digital company in the world ever since they're in public In terms of making money if you had invested in Facebook you would have made the most money of any company in digital That's changing now Because now the big question is really this, you know, what happens with technology, of course, I remember the code. It's four four five Four four sky looks amazing. I look amazing. I should take a selfie Did I forget to lock the front door? So this is a pretty amazing commercial by Google Hi, what can I do for you that ran during the Oscars? And this is for the Google Assistant The Google Assistant will do hundreds of things for you in the future We'll make a phone call book your airplane ticket figure out where and how to vote You know what date to get whatever is around you not just the Google Maps. That's what Google attempts to do I put in a second trailer you from Google because I think you have a good laugh If you know hell the space Odyssey 2001 if you know that movie this this clip will surprise you Open the pod bay doors. How? Hello, how do you read me? Hey Google open the pod bay doors quite clearly Hello refuses by Google does the job. I Mean, this is a bit of a joke of Google which I can appreciate when and I do speeches for Google just to divulge this but I Think too much of a good thing can be a very bad thing That's really true with all drugs and especially with technology, which is kind of a drug Yeah, we don't want to outlaw this period, but we have to think about what if I let Google do 200 things every single day Would that decapitate me sort of make me unskilled? Would I forget how to do stuff myself? Would this happen? I mean clearly the more we outsource the more we sort of you know get dependent on it And so I think really our biggest problem is not today that the machines will come and kill us But that we become too much like them We get lazy. We don't want to do anything anymore because there's a shortcut We basically give everything to technology. That's why we should keep on voting in paper Even though I'm certain that we're gonna have that shift to digital voting But for the time being that we're doing that because it's human and it works We have to think about what whether it's gonna take us in the future I mean, this is the key question. Now, who's mission control who controls what goes on there? Who's in charge a famous philosopher said 50 years ago technology is not what we seek, but how we seek Technology is a tool And I think if you go to Silicon Valley technology not is not a tool anymore. It's God Technology is the purpose of life And so I think in Europe we have this belief that we want to remain human I we want to technology serve us and this is what we have to do. We have to read a humanized technology Make it human again If Facebook is serious about changing They should hire 30,000 journalists God knows it wouldn't even matter to their bottom line if they hired that many journalists But Facebook is intent on building a machine So humans are in the way and we're just the fodder for the advertising Tim Cook from Apple said the other day at the European Commission meeting He says technology can do great things But it does not want to do great things It doesn't want anything How should we expect technology like the cloud or quantum computing or genome engineering or intelligent machines? Why would we expect them to want anything? This is a machine It doesn't think we can call the thinking machine, right? It does a certain kind of thinking, right? But it's not like us being the stuff that we can do as humans is like this Yeah, if I meet you later It takes 0.4 seconds for me to measure you and for you to measure me in 0.4 seconds without saying a single word That's called you know generating trust or not Machines don't do that So this is really important for us to think about this when we live in a world where constantly machines are telling us what we Can or cannot be doing we should use that as a tool. I use trip advisor. I love trip advisor But do I go eat everywhere the trip advisor tells me? That would be a disaster It's just a tool. It's a hammer to which I use to build something. I don't want to end up like this. I Know about you. I think this is the question of not saying yes or no, but saying you know until here and no further and This is why we also need to think about social contract Regulation and so on this is very much like the environmental issues that we're facing. I call this digital pollution It's basically like this, you know all the stuff that we're doing is causing us to see things differently causing isolation The most suicides the highest suicide rate in the world is not in some place in some country It's the power users of social media They're the ones who kill themselves the most Soon the opposite that is supposed to be doing I mean when you think about this for a second We have to address the externalities of technology the side effects Because right now I didn't tell you now today we're here and we're talking about these issues that we discuss But in 10 years these issues will be a thousand eggs. I Mean imagine a world who were you're not long. I'm just addicted to your mobile phone but to augmented reality To wearing glasses that make you super smart and super fast. That's coming a World to where you work at home in a virtuality room You don't have the human contact anymore So I think we need a stronger focus and ethics values social contracts corporate accountability balanced regulation and This is truly a job for the wise man women. In fact, I think this is primarily a job for women Because it requires a certain emotional intelligence that we have to learn and we can already see that right politicians are getting younger Around the world. We're having more women This is a good trend that we need to support and amplify We talked about artificial intelligence before clearly every single company in the world is Bent on using artificial intelligence to reduce the overhead To make it faster quicker You know more convenient And I work with a lot of big multinational companies. I can tell you between the lines or you know, basically on the line here Their primary purpose for doing this is to save on salaries and reduce headcount That's the primary purpose automation reduction of staff because humans are expensive and They mess up They're a pain So here I would say the first three quadrants assisted intelligence You know devices you speak to automation augmented. I think most of that is pretty interesting probably quite good the fourth one Having machines that can be like us. It's a very bad idea Giving robots human rights that discussion is already going on Acting like those can be our lovers Machines that we built for those purposes That's taking it just a tiny bit far I think and that relates also to the second biggest threat that we have and Opportunity genetic engineering you heard about the Chinese doctor, right three months ago Who's now in jail who was the first guy ever to change the human genome the germ line in two babies? So that they wouldn't get an HIV infection from their father and it worked I mean we're talking about fundamental changes if we don't agree on what we want But it would be sort of an arms race But on the positive side think about all the amazing stuff that we can do here we can heal diabetes We can prevent Alzheimer's maybe even cancer one of these days 400 million people in the world suffer from diabetes Could that help? Yeah, but it could also build a super soldier Something we have to think about So really my solution to this is I have proposed many times we need a digital ethics council We don't just need people that deal with business and how we're going to be faster and transform our businesses. This is transforming our lives The question really is are you going to be on team robot? Or are you going to be on team human? Can you make robots and be on team human you can? But the question to me is how do we get this done? How do we put the human back inside and? That is what makes us Europeans Put in the human back inside not rejecting technology not going backwards not being anti competitive But still what is the the value of the future of the future is going to be dehumanized? I mean why would you want to live in a world where everybody is completely connected, but we've lost what makes us human? Mystery serendipity discovery imagination creativity all these things Because here's the bottom line of Technology doesn't have this technology could be both technology has no ethics And this is what we have to ask of technology companies even though your code and your technology does not have ethics It doesn't live so it can't but you must You must do the right thing and of course this is difficult to find I'll try this definition of ethics It's known the difference between what you have a right to do and What is the right thing to do? I? Mean if you're in government this is the key question you may have a right to do this But is it a right thing to do and this is where Facebook fails a hundred fifty percent of the time It has the right to do this and there's nothing different in the terms of views They are not being criminal that they're not misleading us. They just do ethically the wrong thing And that's something I think that we need to be careful of because this is the world that we're going into it in the very near future World that I call the triple bottom line people planet purpose prosperity in The world that's just about prosperity It wouldn't matter The biggest business in the world is to sell out humanity To substitute what we had with some sort of technology Mean isn't it pathetic that the place where we communicate the most is The place that makes most of the money from our communications social media We don't hardly communicate in person anymore. I mean many people are like they have more relationships with their screens and they have with themselves With others So this is something we have to think about where are we going with this? And I think it's the world that's also going away from this old-fashioned approach of you know, it's all ours To a new ecosystem You see companies like Petla going yeah and Unilever and others going in this direction I think we're going to have a stock market for these companies in the future Maybe this is a good idea for Finland to start such a stock market a Company that's measured by four different points not just by one So if we move in this direction, I think our new economic logic is evolving and coming I'll give you another quote from Tim Cook because this talk was pretty amazing So just very shortly and those of us who believe in technologies potential for good Must not shrink from this moment Now more than ever as leaders of governments as decision-makers in business and as citizens We must ask ourselves a Fundamental question what kind of world do we want to live in? That's pretty amazing for a CEO of a tech company You can argue of course many things about Apple I will not get into the details here But this is the question. What do we want in 10 years? We can be anything because technology will be able to do whatever it is that we want to do This is the question we have in countries in Europe and we have to get together to define what that is Do we want to be human or do we do we want to merge with the machine? Do we want to compete with China and have faster soldiers because we have genetically engineered them? What do we want? With artificial intelligence is quite clear machines are becoming intelligent But fear not they're intelligence I mean when we think about this graph here unfolding it's quite clear that we're not gonna keep up with them Technologies exponential and we are not I mean even if you get to be a hundred or 120 We're just not gonna keep up with the machine. I mean there's no way you can memorize Wikipedia in 12 seconds But what's the difference there? I? Sometimes say when human intelligence meets artificial intelligence It's the end of business as usual and Fill in the blanks there It's the end of education as usual the end of politics as usual because now we have to rethink what we are and what we want Good news is this one Human intelligence is a lot more complex than computing. I think you all know that in instinctively. This is what machines do They have infinite potential to compute any number of information But human intelligence is social. It's intellectual. It's emotional kinesthetic our body. It's musical Experts say it's about ten different types of intelligence. That's why it's so hard to test intelligence Will a computer ever have emotional intelligence? For that it would have to exist Do we want the computer to exist? I kind of doubt it But I think thinking machines as my colleague Paul Saffo says we should not mistake a clear view for a short distance These machines can't think because they can look at data and so but not like us You know when you think of your husband or your wife We don't go the back of your head and you pull out a jpeg and say oh, that's my wife It's a little bit different than that. That's what a computer does It's really quite different So in this future, we have to keep reminding also of what machines do and what we do computers are very good at Navigating the whole space, but they cannot get right away to a complex point like we can Because of our perception because of our creativity because of who we are as humans and computers don't have the ability to Understand things apart from data and information Data information is not knowledge. It's not wisdom is not understanding Nevertheless these tools will be extremely powerful Exactly for that same reason because we can do all these things totally instinctively and also very energy efficiently With our brain that machines can't do so when you look at movies like this one Take it with the grain of salt don't base your estimate of the future on this It's entertaining, but here's the future of AI boring nuts and bolts data jobs Mean when you see the difference between those two This is what companies actually do with AI image recognition stats and you know, it's it's far away So we should not think about that as a threat right now We should think about it as a threat in the future, but I think really it means for us that in this world The world where we can get more information easily we have to become more human not less We could we're not going to compete with computers on being smart. I used to think I'd like to be this You know smarter better faster not sleep too much and you know not waste all that time and all the other stuff But now I think like I think it's really important for us to become more human not to become smarter But to become more human That's our leg up in the future if you can be both smart and more human. Of course. Yeah, that's that's the holy grail right there More human not less if you know the movie Blade Runner There's a great scene where the guy who creates the replicants says, you know This is where we can create machines that are more human than human I mean I quote from Blade Runner. I Think this is really important for our future to think about this way And this is one reason why we should not focus in business or otherwise too much on this Efficiency I Mean if it's all about efficiency, we wouldn't exist We are the most inefficient thing that you can possibly imagine We change our mind we lie we make up stuff. We have foresight. We have visions. We have imagination We're not logical So if the computers will take over and they're efficient then what there's no room for us there So efficiency is really not I always say efficiency is for robots By all means in our business we should strive for efficiency But efficiency is not the purpose of technology. It's to reinvent what we do and how we do this So to summarize in this game that's curing up for us We have the same cards. We've always had Humanity ethics values. I think we need to invest as much in humanity as we do in technology And this is how we're going in Europe to keep our spot in the global economy We're not going to keep it by selling out our humanity We're going to keep it by being more human but supported by technology and science of course Our skills have to change The old skills that we used to have that we learned in business school I didn't go to business school, but you know, I estimate that that's what you learned there And now we have new skills at critical thinking emotional intelligence cognitive flexibility storytelling You know when you talk to a human resource manager these days, you know what they're looking for in the new hires real people Emotional people people asking questions This is the most powerful thing and this is what our kids have to learn and And here in Finland, you know, you have some pretty advanced Ideas about education that are already reflecting this Which is quite interesting. Now. We're pretty far away from this in and Switzerland ourselves But so this is the balance EQ IQ Do you really think you're going to prevail in a world where robots and machines have an IQ of one million? by boosting your own IQ How much of that is it going to be? Not to say it's not important, right, but we have on one hand STEM And we always say that our kids should learn how to program, but really what they should learn is this one what I call hacky Humanity ethics co-activity imagination There will be no future don't get me wrong where the technology is not part of it So going into the stem business is a good thing But you know in ten years of the machines will do it themselves. They will program themselves So this is very important for our future to consider. So in the nutshell, this is our future We can choose on the dial between great technology or not so great technology And really what we need here is to figure out that we can get some guidance and If young government is to give that guidance because for me, it's all about The story of saying that we're going to be awesome humans real humans on top of amazing technology not the other way around and I think for that we'll need some wisdom. Hopefully we'll find that somewhere maybe on Amazon. Thanks very much for listening Thank you very much amazing stuff and the question is would Androids dream of electric sheep or not. They would they do it. Could they do it? Perhaps not that's that's the question I mean and making us more human. So basically what are we doing it? We should all study for instance philosophy. I Think we need to go back to studying things that are not immediately monetizable Like the arts music sports all of the things that basically are the things that we can do best I think today if you're a programmer You will have a job for the next five seven maybe even ten years if you're a good programmer But in the process of the next ten years, we will tell the computer to program itself. Yeah, we'll take over Yeah, and I will take over so That's kind of where we're going and you know nice words about Europe and and basically we talked about this earlier as well With the sort of freedoms and responsibilities we have in Europe We are starting to become sort of actually quite unique if we look if you look sort of on the global picture It's not that common in the world Yeah have such a strong base for the freedoms and respolability. I think what used them what used used to be like advantage for us Which is to be slow and to have a past and to think about things and you know made us slow That is now a huge advantage because basically all the fast stuff can be done with technology. Yeah So for us, it's very important I think that we Unify in that way that we can also present a large number of people who have this kind of belief that we want to remain human In Europe, we don't kill each other that much anymore either. So that's Yes, it now sort of looks but hey anyway, then one question if we are sort of like the good guys and and spend Our time and constantly on these things. What about the the bad guys who are creating armies of superhumans How should we deal with them? What did you have in mind? So I think especially like this, you know, we we have comparable scenarios. We had nuclear weapons We had two bombs and then we decided we're not gonna have another thousand bombs that will be very badly for us So we have a non-proliferation treaty Which is working even with Iran and North Korea? Yeah, so that's one example. That's very painful But it's kind of working. We're gonna need the same thing for artificial intelligence. That's all like yeah If you start creating these guys Then we promise to do it as well. So yeah, they're not great Well, I think nobody lives alone on the planet, right? So even in China where lots of people saying that China is the main issue here Right, I don't believe it. I think that every country in the world has to play by the very existential Rules that we're gonna lay down in the next 10 years, which includes for example not having weapons systems that do their own killing Without human supervision. Yeah, or building a super soldier based on genetic engineering and just letting the germline deteriorate You know, that's not something you can do in one country Yeah, so we're gonna need a lot of collaboration there, but I think we have a runway of five seven ten years to achieve that Hey, thank you very much. I thank you for the book. You're welcome. I will read it. I promise Thanks. I have two more books here if you want great. Hey, that's your big big round. Thank you Thank you very much
