    SZ 134: Spatially Speaking Ft. Robert Scoble

    The future is converging. The days of neatly siloed, static technologies are behind us. Today, new disciplines are emerging, transforming industries and reshaping our world in ways we’ve never seen before. As we stand at the forefront of this convergence, we must ask ourselves: Are we truly ready for what's next? Who better to guide us through this shift than celebrated author and futurist, Robert Scoble? Together, we’ll dive into the accelerating fusion of robotics, AI, and extended reality (XR). From the thrill of the first ride in an autonomous Mercedes to the rise of humanoid robots, this talk will explore how these technologies are fundamentally altering the way we live, work, and connect. We’ll examine VR as the "empathy engine," revolutionizing human relationships in new dimensions, and take a journey back to Apple’s controversial early days, including how Siri’s launch took place in Rob’s own home. Looking ahead, we’ll explore the concept of Metaverse 2 and discuss how AI could drive the cost of goods and services to near zero, challenging humanity to find new meaning in a world where robots excel at everything. Will we lose our connection to craftsmanship—a trait once celebrated in the time of artisans and blacksmiths? Or will we discover new ways to reclaim purpose in this rapidly changing landscape? Through this lens, we’ll consider how leadership and innovation continue to evolve in an era defined by convergence.

    From iron-ore mined in Australia, to the Lithium reserves in Chile, to nickel fields deep in the Mariana Trench; the journey of the products we use and love all start somewhere. The modern consumer expects every product to be readily available with a swift delivery to their doorstep. We may take it for granted, but the hidden gears of the supply chain turn day and night. This dance of procurement, manufacturing, storing, shipment and more are a delicate balance - a giant network of people, process, and technology. But in fact, the supply chain is more fragile than ever. Welcome to another exciting episode of Silicon Zombies, where we deep into the world of emerging technology and uncover the innovations shaping our future. On todays show, we take look at something that touches every industry and consumer: the supply chain.

    SZ 128: Innovation & Integrity Ft. Olivia Gambelin & Justin Lokitz

    This may sound a bit paradoxical, but it turns out constraints actually *drive* innovation. And nowhere is that more clear than ethics as a framework in building technology. Lucky for us we've got author and expert Olivia Gambelin to enlighten us with Professor Justin Lokitz in SZ 128: Innovation & Integrity.' We will explore how ethics can drive innovation rather than hinder it. How? By first understanding and codifying values, which allows businesses to create a magnetic appeal, aligning their mission with consumer expectations and fostering trust. This discussion will delve into how ethical considerations can serve as a catalyst for creativity, emphasizing the importance of human impact in technical innovation, and at every level. We will address the psychology of constraints and how they can foster meaningful advancements, alongside potential pitfalls when ethics are misapplied, such as overemphasis on DEI initiatives. We'll also cover the evolving nature of ethics across technological eras, from cloud computing to AI, and compare cultural and philosophical differences in ethical approaches from Europe and the US. The concept of design strategy thinking will be explored, stressing that innovation is a holistic challenge involving people and processes. Ethical AI must be integrated into organizational culture, similar to design or Agile methodologies, to ensure sustainable and responsible innovation. By aligning AI strategies with a company's vision, businesses can create user-centric, ethically sound products/services that add real value while mitigating risks. Tune in to see how we can find harmony between Progress and Principles. *congrats Olivia on the launch of your book!* 🍾 Huge thanks to our sponsors: Necodex.com Near-shore developers for building web/mobile products and expanding your team Primeronegocios.com Proven team of growth experts leveraging cutting edge tech & best practices to achieve and exceed your goals.
