Applying Exponential Technologies to Address Humanity’s Grand Challenges The theme of this Congress is “technology-enabled healthcare,” and we'll be hearing heaps about incredible new innovations. But what are the underlying trends and implications? What do similar trajectories in seemingly unrelated fields -- things like artificial intelligence and energy -- have to do with healthcare? And what can they tell us about where we're going? Join Singularity University's New Zealand Ambassador for a startling look at the dramatic implications of exponential technologies, and some insight into how we might prepare for this dynamically changing world. |
