WHAT'S THE STORY
We explore the impact of AI/ big data and the internet of things on manufacturing and the world as we know it. What are the big shifts just around the corner and what are the changes we will see in our lifetimes? How will society change in response? Where is the human in an ever more digitised world?

Anders Sorman-Nilsson
Futurist, Innovation Strategist and Author
Anders Sorman-Nilsson is a futurist and innovation strategist who helps business leaders decode trends and answer disruptive questions. He is an expert on how the new world of online and digital has changed expectations, while the need for real-world and face-to-face interaction remains as important as ever. A former lawyer, Anders has since founded his own research company. Working with brands from Apple to Macquarie Bank, SAP to Johnson & Johnson, he looks at why individuals and businesses can be quick to invest in upgrading technology but less inclined to invest in personal and organisational upgrades. Anders highlights the important influence on real people that the rapid change in technology is having and how to prepare for it.
