Innovation Week in Prague has grown to become one of Europe’s tech business conferences and this year as one of their keynote speakers, I had the pleasure of talking about the future of innovation. As our world continues to accelerate, how will innovation itself need to change in order to […]
Every year, GLOBSEC, the central European think-tank, gathers many of the world’s security leaders and policy makers for a summit to influence the future by generating new ideas and solutions for a better and safer world. This year, I had the honor of presenting a talk on the “Security Challenges […]
It was great to join Stewart Alsop on his podcast, Crazy Wisdom recently. In our hour together, we did a deep dive into a broad range of topics around AI. Some of the highlights included: The importance of narrative and storytelling as a tool for exploring the future of AI, […]
Helping to kick off Digitální Česko – the 10th annual Digital Czech Republic–was an incredible opportunity! Not only was I able to gain new insights about the priorities and concerns in this part of the world–I also got to meet a lot of amazing people who are helping shape the […]
