This is an edited version of my June 10, 2023, TEDx talk in Cluj, Romania, with much improved sound and various oohs and ahs removed using the amazing @Descript app. The original TEDx version is here [ Ссылка ].

Leading Futurist Gerd Leonhard presents a riveting talk on the future of technology, artificial intelligence, jobs, work, and education. In this talk, Gerd outlines why too much of a good thing (such as exponential technologies) can be a very bad thing, and asks the key question: Who will be Mission Control for humanity? How do we make sure that all technology results in collective human flourishing?

00:00 - Intro
01:45 - Exponential technological progress: It could be heaven, or it could be hell.
02:06 - Technology is morally neutral until we use it.
02:46 - The six big game-changers: AI, Quantum Computing, Fusion...
04:22 - Your mindset contains the future.
05:27 - We urgently need more TELOS (wisdom, balance, purpose).
07:05 - AI: turning information and data into knowledge?
12:09 - The human-only turf: wisdom, purpose, consciousness, and understanding.
13:19 - The Future of AI: who's in control?
14:35 - Invest as much in humanity as you invest in technology
16:05 - Technology can do great things, but it doesn't want to do great things
16:52 - We should always keep 'humans in the loop'
