Navigating the Radical Future: Finding Opportunity in a World Being Remade

Our world is being transformed by far more than AI. Mutually reinforcing technologies are advancing at extraordinary speed just as the postwar international order is fracturing, the foundations of global commerce are being rewritten, and individuals and small groups are gaining powers once reserved for governments and large corporations. At the same time, challenges from pandemics and climate change to nuclear proliferation and AI safety are becoming more global while our capacity to address them collectively is weakening. The result is a world of extraordinary possibility and profound danger that can no longer be understood or navigated using the assumptions of the past.

One of the most essential challenges for leaders today is understanding how these powerful forces intersect, amplify, and reshape one another—and then translating that understanding into smarter decisions, greater resilience, and new opportunities for growth and success.

Drawing on a unique career spanning the White House, diplomacy, geopolitics, biotechnology, AI, finance, business, and global governance, leading futurist and bestselling author Jamie Metzl connects the dots across these rapidly changing fields to reveal the bigger picture of where our world is heading and what it means for the decisions leaders must make today. He gives leaders a framework for anticipating the cascading consequences of accelerating change, identifying opportunities and risks before they become obvious, challenging assumptions that no longer hold, and making smarter strategic choices about where to invest, what to build, and how to position their organizations to thrive in a future that will operate by very different rules than the world we know today.

Superconvergence: How the AI, Genetics, and Biotechnology Revolutions Will Transform Our Lives, Work, and World

Superconvergence: How the AI, Genetics, and Biotechnology Revolutions Will Transform Our Lives, Work, and World

The rapid growth of new AI systems like ChatGPT and Google Gemini has helped us recognize that profound change is on the horizon. Although many of us still think of these capabilities as little more than improved internet search tools, the implications are far deeper. Like the agricultural, industrial, and computer revolutions before it, the AI revolution will transform nearly every aspect of how we live and work, including our economies, our healthcare, the food we eat, and our interactions with the world around us. In this visionary, far-reaching, and highly practical talk, leading futurist and bestselling author of Superconvergence, Hacking Darwin, and The AI Ten Commandments, Jamie Metzl explores the big-picture implications of this transformative moment in history when we are rapidly increasing our ability to engineer intelligence and re-engineer biology—and shows how individuals, organizations, and societies can ride this wave of change rather than be overwhelmed by it.
The End of Reactive Medicine: How AI and Other New Technologies are Powering Predictive and Preventive Health

The End of Reactive Medicine: How AI and Other New Technologies are Powering Predictive and Preventive Health

For centuries, healthcare has been reactive. We waited for people to get sick, then tried—often heroically—to save them. That era is now ending. Medicine is already shifting from one-size-fits-all treatment to precision healthcare shaped by each person’s unique biology. Genome sequencing, targeted cancer therapies, and data-driven diagnostics are already delivering extraordinary results. But as generative AI and exponential computing power converge with genomics, biotechnology, and vast health datasets, medicine is moving beyond precision toward predictive and preventive care models in which we can anticipate risk, intervene early, and keep people well before symptoms appear. In this fast-paced, visionary, and deeply practical keynote, technology and healthcare futurist Jamie Metzl, Commissioner of the Lancet Commission on Precision Health, takes audiences inside the next healthcare revolution and shows how AI and other new capabilities are transforming disease detection, drug development, care delivery, and health economics, and what it will take for leaders to thrive as prediction, prevention, and personalization redefine healthcare success.
Artificial Intelligence, Human Creativity, and Our New Age of Spiritual Machines

Artificial Intelligence, Human Creativity, and Our New Age of Spiritual Machines

Whether we’re ready or not, artificial intelligence is set to transform nearly every dimension of human life, including how we work, live, create art, find meaning, and build communities of belief. Just as agriculture reshaped human civilization and seeded new faith traditions and the printing press fractured old authorities while giving rise to new ones, AI is now triggering the next great shift in how we understand ourselves and our place in the unfolding human story. In this mind-opening journey through deep history and near-future possibility, leading futurist, sci-fi novelist, and author of The AI Ten Commandments Jamie Metzl explores what happens—and how we can thrive—when our most powerful technologies begin to touch the most human questions: Who are we? What do we owe one another? And what does it mean to create, to believe, and to belong in an age of highly creative, and potentially even spiritual, machines? This keynote helps leaders, creators, and organizations understand not just what AI can do, but how we can strengthen human meaning, creativity, and values as intelligent machines increasingly shape our lives and societies.
Beyond the Blue Zones: What the Revolutionary Science of Human Life Extension Means for You

Beyond the Blue Zones: What the Revolutionary Science of Human Life Extension Means for You

Most people know the basics of healthy longevity: exercise, good nutrition, meaningful relationships, and stress reduction. But revolutionary advances in biology, genetics, and artificial intelligence are now creating unprecedented opportunities to extend healthy human life beyond what was once considered possible, and unlocking new potential for health, productivity, and human flourishing in ways our ancestors could never have imagined. In this eye-opening and highly practical keynote, leading technology and healthcare futurist (and ultramarathoner) Jamie Metzl explores the latest breakthroughs in longevity science and what they mean for individuals, businesses, and governments. He explains how these advances could deliver more of life’s most precious resource—time—and why they will fundamentally reshape healthcare systems, economies, social structures, and public policy sooner than most people expect. This talk offers a clear framework for how leaders can prepare now for a future in which longer, healthier lives transform how we live and work, and even how our societies are organized.
Optimizing Your Health in an Age of Exponential Technology

Optimizing Your Health in an Age of Exponential Technology

While many people feel overwhelmed by a flood of unscientific health claims and exaggerated promises about “hacking” aging or living forever, the converging revolutions in artificial intelligence, genetics, and biotechnology are delivering something far more powerful: real scientific insights into prevention, prediction, and long-term health with meaningful implications for every one of us. In this affirming, optimistic, and highly practical keynote, leading technology and healthcare futurist Jamie Metzl—who has completed 60 marathons, 40 ultramarathons, and 13 Ironman triathlons—explores how individuals can use today’s best science, not hype, to optimize their health and position themselves to benefit from the next generation of predictive and preventive medicine. This talk offers a clear, empowering framework for living healthier, more resilient lives in a world of rapidly accelerating technological change.

Stifling debate on the virus makes another one more likely

A number of people have asked whether the recent increase in attention to the pandemic origins has felt like vindication for the small number of us who have been pushing against the tide since early last year by raising essential questions challenging the dominant narrative and calling for a full investigation into all credible hypotheses. The answer is not really or, perhaps, not yet. Our goal is not attention or media interviews but a full investigation, with China's involvement if at all possible but without that if not, to help us understand what went wrong and address our greatest vulnerabilities.

For some very good reasons, we will. As the genetic revolution plays out, it will raise fundamental questions about what it means to be human, unleash deep divisions within and between groups, and could even lead to destabilizing international conflict..

Why the Future Belongs to the Curious with Jamie Metzl

Jamie's fabulous presentation on genetic engineering – past, present and future -- was at once thought provoking, inspiring, frightening and enlightening. It was simply the best presentation I ever have heard in all my 71 years. I look forward to the publication of Hacking Darwin and can't wait to get my hands on it.

“A page-turning journey through space and time that shows us how our lives will be changed by imminent technological advances we once only dreamed of.”

David Sinclair, Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, and author of Lifespan: Why We Age―and Why We Don't Have To

“San Jose State thinks a great deal these days about how to approach healthcare studies with our students, how that interacts with technology and the humanities, and the complexity of programs we need to create that will allow us to think differently about our place in an ever changing world, as well as how we can have a positive impact. At our event, Jamie was exceptionally engaged with the students, and in both sessions before the lecture, everyone one came up with him afterwards to talk further with him. He offered thoughtful insights into these issues in an engaging, entertaining way that I know is going to generate a great deal of discussion and debate among our students and staff. He reminded us that the future is already here and we should engage with it actively and in the spirit of our values”

Dr. Mary A. Papazian, President, San Jose State University

I was fortunate to host Jamie for both a small group dinner with several high value clients and then have Jamie present for 30 minutes followed by a 45 minute fireside discussion at our firm's annual Macro Conference with over 250 attendees. I can say Jamie's depth and breadth of knowledge about biology, history, genomics., AI/technology, biotechnology, agriculture, and food is astounding with instant recall. Additionally, his time spent with our government and other major global organizations provided him with broad and excellent real world know-how not just theory in how we can leverage these technologies and end goals to improve the US and world at large. Jamie engaged the small group at dinner who were also fascinated with how he leveraged AI to help draft his science fiction novel. We also covered a lot of ground on man+machine vs. man against machine and how we can leverage our best skills with targeted roles and goals for AI to improve and expedite the process. So we won't be replaced by machines. At our conference with our larger group Jamie walked through the history and natural 'genomics' process and how AI and biotechnology can accelerate that to move us from general healthcare to predictive medicine was fascinating. We covered his role in the Covid lab leak vs. wet market and how we can leverage mRNA technology for so many health issues along with CRISPR and cell genomics. But, aside from Jamie being a great speaker and storyteller to engage the audience, he is also a wonderful person and a pleasure to spend time with in discussion about anything frankly. In preparation for our event I read Superconvergence and am now about to tackle Hacking Darwin, his earlier book. I hope that our paths will cross again in the near future.

Jamie is a fantastic authority and resource on all things related to China. I hired Jamie as a panelist and keynote speaker in 2016 after hearing Jamie speak at an Atlantic Council event. He was extremely knowledgeable, flexible and a pleasure to work with on our event programming. I was particularly impressed by Jamie's presence and command of the topics and his ability to engage with the engage the audience in a meaningful way. Throughout our preparation, Jamie was always accessible and provided constructive ways to improve our program. Jamie is at the top of my list for my speaking engagements needs.

Terrence J. Richardson, Head of Corporate & Investment Bank Marketing, HSBC Bank

Dr. Jamie Metzl spoke to a captivated audience about a fascinating and complicated subject. Bio-engineering and its impact upon the future of mankind was the topic Dr. Metzl aptly articulated in an enthralling yet relatable style. From the start, he built a genuine rapport with the audience as he communicated so that each person understood as clearly as possible the subject matter. Jamie’s presentation was amazingly fluid and perfectly paced as he spoke effortlessly without notes or prompts. “Jamie is the best speaker we’ve ever had.” “This event was a home run because of Jamie Metzl!” “Jamie is engaging and smoothly breaks it down.” These are just a few samples of the positive comments received from the audience after the presentation. Our community is excited about Jamie’s return for an encore!
