When new technologies and trends emerge many keynote speakers seem to become experts over night – you know the ones, the so called experts that right up until that moment had never ever talked about the subject they say they’re now an expert in. We saw this with Blockchain and Web 3.0, the Metaverse, and Generative AI, and we will see it again with Quantum Computing, and many other technologies and trends.
Matthew by contrast has an impressive track record. He sees many of these technologies and trends emerging a decade or more out with examples including Generative AI, DeepFakes, and Synthetic Content which he’s been discussing with clients including Bloomberg and others since 2017 – a year before Gartner spotted them – the rise of innovative AI with Upgrade100, the Democratisation of Expertise with WIRED, Digital Humans and AI’s that build new AI’s with RWE, and even autonomously built and run AI businesses with Accenture in 2019 – 5 years before Sam Altman discussed the concept – and many others.
So ask yourself: Who would you prefer, an over night expert or the actual expert? ...less
