Keynote Topics

Smart glasses are poised to replace smartphones as the portal through which we access the internet and the tech giants are jostling to be the gatekeeper. Mark Zuckerberg has renamed his whole company after the technology. Calum explains what it all means, busts some myths, and crucially, explains how companies can make money in the Metaverse.

Congratulations on choosing to live at the best time ever. The extraordinary achievements and promise of AI. The economic singularity: joblessness and the leisure society. The technological singularity: superintelligence. Humanity’s most important century.

Digital transformation is no longer a possible future: we are right in the thick of it. In this talk, Calum demonstrates how companies thrive – they must get ABLE: Adopt the new technologies, become Business model agnostic, Lateral thinking, and Empowering. And how individuals can thrive – they must get REAL: Resilient, Excited, Agile, Lifelong learners.

De-mystifying AI. The power of exponentials. The Luddite fallacy and the Reverse Luddite Fallacy. How to make joblessness great. A call to arms
AI and the future of Education
Why is AI so important? Calum looks at the tools we have today and how AI will improve education beyond recognition, from Vocational to Vacational.

Intelligence, consciousness, and AI. Trolleyology: would you throw the fat man off the bridge? Slaves to the algorithm (with apologies to Grace Jones). Could a machine be a moral agent? The simulation hypothesis

What is this AI thing anyway?  An overnight sensation, after 60 years. AI’s Big Bang in 2012 and the state of the art. How did we get here, and where are we going? The promise and the peril.
