    When Quantum Computing Brings Breakthroughs ... or Chaos

    Quantum computers harness the almost mystical properties of subatomic particles to solve problems that are beyond even the most powerful “classical” computers available today. Will these computers usher in a new generation of custom pharmaceuticals and sustainable materials—or will they be used to crack every password and create global chaos? BCG’s Antoine Gourévitch imagines the coming age of quantum computers and dives deep into ways they could supercharge the discovery of new materials. But the quantum age comes with huge risks as well; governments around the world are already racing to develop quantum-safe passwords that will keep our data secure.    Learn More:  Antoine Gourévitch: https://on.bcg.com/4hMrXaQ BCG on Quantum Computing: https://on.bcg.com/3AGK415 GenAI on GenAI: https://link.chtbl.com/bcg-genai-on-genai?sid=IT  CEO Digest: https://link.chtbl.com/ceo-digest-bcg-show?sid=IT  CEO Moments of Truth: https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT  This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

    Sustainable and Affordable: When Housing Is No Longer in Crisis

    How will advances in sustainable materials and modular construction change how homes are designed and built? And how will these innovations address the urgent need for affordable housing? BCG’s Matthias Tauber suggests ways to solve the housing crisis through changes in design, manufacturing, materials, permitting, and financing. Homes of the future will provide more alternatives, often by reimagining shared spaces and resources in flexible ways that allow for custom designs. The one no-regret move? Tauber says: invest in technology.   Learn More:  Matthias Tauber: https://on.bcg.com/4fh2mo2  Building Materials Industry: https://on.bcg.com/3Ultz19  GenAI on GenAI: https://link.chtbl.com/bcg-genai-on-genai?sid=IT  CEO Digest: https://link.chtbl.com/ceo-digest-bcg-show?sid=IT  CEO Moments of Truth: https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT  This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

  3. Skip the Chips? When AI Meets Your Grocery Cart.

    Skip the Chips? When AI Meets Your Grocery Cart.

    Imagine walking into an AI-enabled grocery store that knows what you eat, how fit you are, and other personal health data, and can steer you towards healthier choices - and give you discounts on them. BCG’s John Paschkewitz explores a world where governments, insurance companies, and grocery and pharmacy chains join forces to individualize and subsidize products that are better for your health.  We could lead healthier lives, save money, and make environmentally sustainable choices. But we would all need to get comfortable sharing a lot more information about ourselves.  Learn More:  John Paschkewitz: https://on.bcg.com/3BDpjDs  Can Deep Tech Innovation Generate Green Products?: https://on.bcg.com/4dIpDOS  BCG on Deep Tech: https://on.bcg.com/4eYpHee  CEO Moments of Truth: https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT  GenAI on GenAI: https://link.chtbl.com/bcg-genai-on-genai?sid=IT  CEO Digest: https://link.chtbl.com/ceo-digest-bcg-show?sid=IT  This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

    When Government Knows What You Need Before You Do

    What will it be like to apply for permits, pay taxes, and more when governments embrace artificial intelligence and everyone has a secure digital ID? BCG’s Miguel Carrasco imagines a future where the government moves beyond the traditional brick-and-mortar to bespoke digital assistants that anticipate and streamline everything you need. This could eliminate chronic complaints about government services—that they are slow and cumbersome and don’t facilitate business development. But Miguel also warns that these advantages also come with risk: governments will need to be ever more focused on cybersecurity.      Learn More:  Miguel Carrasco: https://on.bcg.com/4duhPjF  Digital Government: https://on.bcg.com/3XL48XI GenAI: The Trust Multiplier for Government: https://on.bcg.com/4f37mwP GenAI on GenAI: https://link.chtbl.com/bcg-genai-on-genai?sid=IT CEO Digest: https://link.chtbl.com/ceo-digest-bcg-show?sid=IT CEO Moments of Truth: https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT   This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

    Seeing the World Through AI Glasses

    What becomes possible when your AI-enabled headset is as light and comfortable as an ordinary pair of glasses? BCG’s Kristi Woolsey imagines a world with an AI third eye, where your glasses can instantly provide information, warnings or advice. This new generation of smart glasses could also help you learn new skills, whether cooking at home or mastering technical aspects of your job. But Woolsey also warns that we’ll need to put limits on the technology– these new glasses might also be able to reveal things about other people that are better left private.  Learn More:  Kristi Woolsey: https://on.bcg.com/4cWZxXK  BCG on Augmented and Virtual Reality: https://on.bcg.com/4d3LFva  CEO Moments of Truth: https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT GenAI on GenAI: https://link.chtbl.com/bcg-genai-on-genai?sid=IT  CEO Digest: https://link.chtbl.com/ceo-digest-bcg-show?sid=IT  This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

    Strip Malls in Outer Space (First Aired: June 26, 2024)

    What would you do with access to a constellation of low-Earth orbit satellites that can provide real-time access to data and surveillance and seamless connectivity? BCG’s Troy Thomas imagines a future where businesses use satellites to guide autonomous vehicles or use satellites to research and manufacture new materials that can be formed only in zero gravity. But, Thomas says, these satellites come with risks, such as privacy and security, heightened cyber risk, the proliferation of space junk, and the possibility of a major solar storm that could disrupt service around the world.

    BCG Presents: Me, Myself, and AI

    When Mario Rodriguez emigrated from Cuba to the United States at age 14 with his parents — a university professor, and a teacher turned electrical engineer — they had already instilled in him the value of education and a love of learning. That passion has guided him throughout his career — as a program manager with Microsoft; then as part of GitHub, following Microsoft’s 2018 acquisition of the developer platform; and as a cofounder of a charter school in North Carolina. Now, as senior vice president of product at GitHub, Mario oversees the team developing the GitHub Copilot AI-assisted software development tool.  Mario joins this episode to share his views on product development, GitHub Copilot’s effect on productivity and job satisfaction, and a future in which more people can easily develop their own software. Guest bio:  Mario Rodriguez leads the GitHub Product team as senior vice president of product. His core identity is that of a learner, and his passion is creating developer tools — so much so that he has spent the past 20 years in leadership roles across Microsoft and GitHub. His most recent work involves overseeing GitHub’s AI strategy and launching and growing the GitHub Copilot product line across thousands of organizations and millions of users.  Rodriguez also cochairs a charter school that he cofounded in an effort to help progress STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) education in rural regions of the United States.  Me, Myself, and AI is a collaborative podcast from MIT Sloan Management Review and Boston Consulting Group and is hosted by Sam Ransbotham and Shervin Khodabandeh. Our engineer is David Lishansky, and the coordinating producers are Allison Ryder and Andy Goffin.  Stay in touch with us by joining our LinkedIn group, AI for Leaders at mitsmr.com/AIforLeaders or by following Me, Myself, and AI on LinkedIn.  We encourage you to rate and review the show.

    A Bot in the C-Suite? (First Aired: February 21, 2024)

    By 2030, the best CIO might be a CIB: a chief intelligence bot. And the human CEO might be bolstered by a swarm of CEO bots, able to harness a vast diversity of perspectives. Can you imagine? In this episode, BCG’s Mickey McManus envisions a future where top leaders share the corner office with AI—blending the logical with human intuition. Mickey, a BCG senior advisor and a pioneer in human-centered design, considers how a company like this would function. Hint: he recommends an approach much like jazz improvisation.     Learn More  You’ll find more of what BCG has to say about generative AI here:   https://on.bcg.com/3UuWtNd   Listen to more of GENE, BCG's AI bot here: GenAI on GenAI: https://link.chtbl.com/bcg-genai-on-genai?sid=IT CEO Digest: https://link.chtbl.com/ceo-digest-bcg-show?sid=IT Also, in this episode, Mickey recommends an entirely new reading list for the C-suite, including:   -Iain M.
