Dr. Mark van Rijmenam, technologist, entrepreneur, and author, discusses AI ethics, future societies, blockchains, and digital labor

A first on the show this week... we meet a guest whose digital twin has its own YouTube channel. Dr. Mark van Rijmenam is a futurist, best-selling author, and entrepreneur. He is a popular keynote speaker about issues related to how we co-exist with technology in an increasingly digital world.

Listen and learn....

1. Why it is we're living in "exponential times"
2. How future societies will be organized by "digitalism" instead of "liberalism" based on who can access and control data
3. Why blockchains as a technology are currently about at the maturity level of the internet in 1997
4. What Dr. Mark means when he says "...be prepared to reinvent yourself every five to ten years"
