Navigating the Radical Future: Finding Opportunity in a World Being Remade
We are entering an age of superconvergence, in which dizzying advances in artificial intelligence, genetics, biotechnology, automation, advanced materials, energy systems, and other transformative technologies are converging, accelerating one another, and rapidly expanding what humans and our organizations can achieve. At the same time, geopolitical fragmentation, populism, and shifting social expectations are reshaping the world in which these technologies will be developed, governed, and deployed.
Drawing on the ideas in Superconvergence and his decades of work at the intersection of technology, healthcare, geopolitics, business, and public policy, Jamie Metzl brings these forces together into a single frame in this exciting keynote. Rather than treating AI, biotechnology, global competition, demographic change, and institutional disruption as separate trends, he shows how they interact, reinforce one another, and reshape the strategic landscape in ways that are easy to miss when each is viewed in isolation.
Jamie connects these dots to help leaders see around corners, identify opportunities and risks before they become obvious, and make smarter strategic choices about where to invest, what to build, and how to position their organizations to ride the wave of accelerating change rather than be overwhelmed by it.
