I'm doing a lot of work in the UN at the moment. I've just come back from a week speaking there with the new assembly and also as part of the SDG week, is how we can really harness the power of emergent technology for wider social impact. I'm looking at the schedule here over the last, yesterday and today. Obviously there's a fantastic focus on the technology and what I really wanted to do was give more of a focus on the applied nature of that and how we can do great business but also do really good business that has wider societal benefit too. That's really my passion. I want to give some balance to what we sometimes see in the media that kind of focuses sometimes on the darker side of technology to kind of bring that back a little bit and say what we can actually achieve by applying that and working together collaboratively. So yes, so first of all I wanted to talk about trust. I think the figure there is quite stark. A 17-year all-time low and that's not just in corporate sectors and the big banks for example, that is across the globe even in charity sectors and social enterprise and things like blockchain with the ability to embed trust can make a real difference here. So I wanted to kind of bring the context around this trust issue and what we need to do to resolve that. Classic examples there don't really need much explanation but really big names in very different fields all are suffering from this lack of trust. And times are changing. I work a lot with young people. I've actually got my own foundation called aspirational futures that I'll be coming back to a little bit later on in the talk and I passionately care about how we get more people involved in this, how we bring different sectors together and particularly around young people. The stats there around Mylena was in particular there's a real contagion of interest here about doing work that's got shared value. People don't want to rock up for their job and not be doing more than that. They want something they're doing to have real meaning, real purpose and be able to go away happy that their values outside of their working practice match what they're doing within it. We need to create more opportunities to that very cross-sectoral approach and all the projects I'm advising on and my new CEO role is all about bringing these things together and harnessing it. The stats there really speak for themselves. Also in terms of contact we've got massive messy problems across the world. Again affecting every nature we have really from the social side of things to environmental challenges to climate change to education very much harness by the framework of the social development goals that have been brought together by the UN. I hear, speak for themselves, 1.5 million people can't prove their identity and that doesn't just have implications for banking and be able to access a bank account and institutions, it has massive implications for education as well. I think that number, that visual, it says everything, it's a massive problem. If we don't have education as a building blocks for life everything we're doing with technology will not fill its full potential. Again in terms of challenges we've got issues with power. 85% of the world's population does not have full access. That is affordable, reliable or clean. 15% there is a staggering number. Again around food supply I spent a lot of time out in Mexico and also in Brazil looking at food supply chains looking at ethical food supply chain and what's happening. People are not going to earn their full capacity for what they're growing. We've got problems from the bottom line where farmers are growing crops then getting to the end producer where the money has been lost and when trees for example have been destroyed in the process of growing so oud is a fantastic example. I've spent time in the Meno region in particular and we don't always see so much of this in the US and the UK but it has amazing qualities. It comes from the Aguila tree and at the moment most of the time to actually create that reaction you have to have an infection in the bark to produce this particular oil. It can be used for cancer care a stack of research papers I can share that are really showing the benefits there but also it's used for things like perfumes and well-being and actually the wood itself is used for decoration but at the moment that's an illegal trade of the whole industry's 10 to 20 billion dollars a year and the moment of that 50% is illegal. People are learning a fraction of what they're worth at the bottom line and so if you look at that all the way along the supply chain you can't see a better application of blockchain. Also as it says there food fraud again another massive problem and people are losing out at every stage. So I mentioned earlier about the sustainable development goal something incredibly close to my heart and I'm a co-chair of something called Frontier 3000 that's coming out of the UN encouraging more inclusion and diversity but also scaling up social impact projects across the world hence what I was doing there the other week and as part of that I've got a particular focus around supply chains, looking at transparency looking at things around trade and how we can make that right for all parties that are involved and also looking at things that are making things truly accountable and traceable. Again blockchain but also in integration with other technologies is a fantastic way to do that at every stage across the line. Now on to technology we have problems across the world in certain areas one of which is inclusion and diversity if we're creating technology particularly the AI we were talking about just then we need to have truly diverse teams and that's not just about gender but about types of diversity and we need to do more in that area that's particularly prevalent around AI development and also areas such as blockchain and cyber security we need to look at areas like interoperability if I can even say that word interoperability sorry and also things around silo thinking we don't have enough joined up approach that's a classic across the world to be honest with you we always have this issue where people do not share there's avoidance as negation of sharing is what part of my master's agreement is in a particular area and I'm all about creating this ethos of collaboration also persistent infrastructure challenges I think developing world is a great example of that so as a project I was involved in around literacy and what we did was we harnessed and repurposed the power of older phones so you can use the power of the cloud there to create this wonderful thing really of mentoring in families you have great problems sometimes where mums and dads might not have reading skills and that has that problem later on down the line how then do you help people to learn to read and write and there can be a lot of resistance to change just because it's quite a difficult thing to talk about and that can be very very hard but if you can use the power of an old phone you don't even need the internet you can actually make a massive difference there so a lot of what I do as well is not just about the really advanced stuff it's also about repurposing older technology as well and also as I said at the beginning I'm all about sustainable, environmental and economic impact we're talking about blockchain we have to then acknowledge things like mining costs we can't just sweep that under the carpet and also things around scalability and performance but with some of the projects I'm working on and some of the newer flavours of blockchain if I wanted a better word are actually dealing with that head on so that is not a panacea problem there are significant developments and I'm more than happy to talk about some of those offline after the talk as well and just for anybody who's not aware of them that was just a quick flash picture there of the SDGs the project I'm working on most closely at the moment is called SAX and that's all around for example ethical minerals supply ethical diamonds, oud and also bamboo as a replacement for plastic and how you can trade that fairly and use blockchain technology but also along things like RFID and other forms of technology at every stage of the supply chain and it's all about this next slide creating a triple bottom line so for me that's sustainable development in the middle or another word we're putting this is shared value we can bring economic, social and environmental benefits together it doesn't have to be in either or sometimes I find that we talk about one thing or the other we never look enough about how we can integrate them and that's what I passionately believe in and we are seeing some early benefits as well there's research from Stanford for example there's looked at a number of early blockchain projects and again I'm more than happy to share the research on that and I've also got my own original research in there as part of my PhD so we've got a lot of impact there showing different scales where we're actually seeing tangible benefits I've also built my own measure because one of the things you always find with social impact how do you measure it even when you go for funding bids it's very difficult it can't just be anecdotal or experience led we need some quantitative measures as well so again if anybody's interested in that side of things and how you harness the emerging technology and the impact and draw them together more than happy to share that with you or offline but we are starting to see this coming through three-way opportunity for change so moving on to the enabling side now in depth so for me this is all about technology convergence the two talks we've had here this morning blockchain and AI for me bringing those things together has got the biggest potential overall the projects I'm working on tend to have that a previous one was one in the precision medicine field and that was bringing together blockchain secure DNA transfer alongside AI machine learning for deep delve into looking at pattern recognition so things like population disease management and within that we've got things coming through blockchain as a service but also science and technology coming together that convergence there again massive catalyst for change and driving social impact so this is a supply chain that is very close to heart so I've just come back from a week or so in Thailand and Malaysia you'll see some photos of this later on but this is taking you for every stage because I do find making this tangible was so important it needs to be accessible and in groups like this where we've got a great depth of knowledge on the technical side of things that's fantastic but sometimes when you're going broader than that we need to make this like the phone in your pocket things like blockchain, AI, machine learning there's so much hype around them but there's so much ambiguity as well it's not always accessible it feels like it's something out there unless you're very, very within the field so again and the web site I've got in the book etc it's all about tangible use cases across every different sector you look out there and take it away and you feel like you can understand it so this is what I'm doing at the moment as you can see there literally from the nursery to the end consumer we've got technology at every stage it's also a great example of the fact that you can transition it doesn't have to be a brand new bleeding edge like where are we going to use blockchain where's that a natural fit actually there's a lot of businesses where you can integrate this as a natural evolution it doesn't have to be something that's taking away jobs either bit like the talk just now it can be taking away some of the more mundane features and allowing much more quality time to do work that's more fulfilling and satisfying and this also gives an opportunity as well to evolve our business models so as an example here as part of the profit that's created from this particular organisation some of that is put back at least 1% for example from certain things that's happened recently and this is a wonderful example I absolutely love this, this is bamboo bicycles bamboo I think there's going to be so much coming up with bamboo in the next few months there's more I want to share on this let's just say it's a sustainable replacement for plastic but also in conjunction with things like 3D printing modular homes putting the furniture into that if you look at the things like the refugee crisis and also homelessness I'm directly involved in projects there where we're going to be using some of this bamboo in really exciting ways and this is a three way business model you can create the really high spec bikes sell them overseas and make you know earn money from that, plough that back in it's a local community so we've got hectares of land in Kenya as an example helping kids connect to the 10km to go to school and then really ploughing that back into community education so that I'm very close to heart and it really really excites me and this is kind of very into what I was saying just now we need to make the application of advanced technology accessible to all and make it feel like this is something that's valuable and relevant to our everyday life not something out here just for the few we need to bring it back in so what I do online I've got a new tech column that starts this week as well that's very blockchain focus and stuff I do in Forbes as well but it's all about making this tangible real world relevant to everyone not just one or two and particularly about looking at really innovative ways how we can bring profit and purpose together not being a juxtaposition how we can really create shared value and to do that as well bring in together research high tech people in the field like we've got here but also civil society, NGOs the UN we need to have this cross fertilisation of ideas rather than the events that are focused on one or the other it's really about this intersection and again addressing non-advanced tech issues so in the case of blockchain things around working with telephone companies I've got a back around with our engineer and companies like that and again we're working with partnerships there to solve some of those because you can't have the best ideas in the world the most advanced forms of technology if we haven't got the basic infrastructure right we won't get to that point of acceleration and again as I said the collaborative ecosystems of change those are some pictures with me at the bottom there so that was in Thailand and again I do think sometimes a picture says a thousand words and the heart of technology the human side of technology the key notes I do concretely at the moment I'm really trying to stress that area because again I don't think it's talked about enough we need to really be evocative we need to get people engaged we want people to be part of this we need to get them and steam drop off at schools if you've got more excitement and engagement about what is possible not what tech will just take away I think we can really start to change the conversation there and on that note I'm just going to give a little note three pillars of change as I call that so this is aspirational futures so this is what I've been doing this for kind of six to seven years now in different projects in different countries particularly specialising in developing areas such as Mexico, Brazil but but also back in other areas as well in many UK cities as an example you can have a real difference in open access to opportunity it can be chalk and cheese, one end of a city to another I've particularly done a lot of work in Monterey an incredible incredible city the richest city in Mexico but again full of juxtaposition at one side travel 20 minutes and you probably look like you're going back 60 years you've gone from the heart of modern civilisation to horse and cart and garter civil you've been dumped on the streets because of the problems around drug abuse and you've got that real cycle of people being trapped in difficult areas and we went out there helped build a new school filled it with robotics projects, Raspberry Pi all that kind of stuff but also things like arts and jewellty things like that so people can be truly creative because if we can't have the most creative minds of the future building emergent tech if we're not sparking that creativity in the first place we need arts and tech to be hand in hand so that's what aspirational futures is about scaling access to opportunity so again there's free to access courses that I've built around blockchain AI and other forms of technology as well that are free for people to use kind of like the MOOC style of things but open to all and a range of tech for good projects that we're scaling up across the globe so if anybody wants to get involved in that just give me a shout because I'm incredibly passionate about it and it's all about getting that scaled up ecosystem and bringing everybody together to make that happen some of the people that have been helping on that and are getting involved are on this little sheet there so again as it kind of shows there this is very cross sectoral got big tech companies involved but also leading educational providers frontier tech organisations from the UN but also things that are specialist in certain areas opening up access to labs for example while we're doing some fantastic work in that that I'm speaking about in Dubai next week and they're sometimes expect the unexpected there are places I've been and if you challenge your assumptions and you go in fresh full of enthusiasm full of that ethos of sharing and coming together I've been absolutely amazed about what you can achieve and what you can contribute so my vision is all about bringing as many people on board as possible basically and that's what I want to take the opportunity for on the platform today as I finally kind of bringing that to a close if you're interested more about what I do in terms of the social media side of things again I love taking conversations on and off line and bringing these things together so I'm very active pretty much everywhere on social media everything by my name because I really believe in authenticity so it's at Sally Eaves I've also got a TEDx talk it's all around technology for good so tech for good is kind of my mantra really so it's all about the scaling up of that so feel free to have a look at that but yeah my message is that we need to all work together to really scale up change to share knowledge that's accurate and accessible for everybody and to do that so that's my kind of carion call really and if anybody wants to talk to me about more detail about that I'll be around all day and I'm more than happy to look at ways to work together thank you thank you
