Machine Ecology
The earth is sick, and the causes of its disease lie in our choices, our myopia, and our lack of imagination. Climate change, with deforestation, melting glaciers, mass extinctions and carbon emissions, is the biggest problem of the century. If you struggle to understand what is ruining our planet, perhaps you should look for clues in artificial intelligence.
Your face may attract a lot of interest in the coming years
What are we going to do with our faces? As hard as it may be to accept, we may someday have to consider covering them with masks before we venture outside. To prevent that from happening, it seems advisable even today to support various initiatives aimed at regulating the phenomenon, at least to some extent.
Politicians and artificial intelligence. Can national strategies succeed?
For the first time in the history of societies, people will live with technology as a partner that is guided by its own rules and laws. Politicians are increasingly aware of the various consequences of AI expansion. Will they be able to regulate our relationship with AI?
Don’t kill a humanoid: do machines deserve to have rights?
How would one grant rights to machines? The matter still can’t be consulted with those concerned. Artificial intelligence will not tell us whether or not it feels people’s existing legal system is treating it well. So we have to manage alone and decide for it.
Politicians and AI. Can national strategies succeed?
For at least five years now, the world has been using artificial intelligence in the economy, education, science and in general public interest. Inevitably, the governments of many countries could no longer avoid reflecting deeply on their prior AI experience and the research into its essence.
Covid-19. Are we entering an age of global surveillance?
It only took a couple of weeks or so for the dark visions reminiscent of the Black Mirror tv series to become reality: think of drones hovering overhead and taking our body temperature and smartphone apps notifying law enforcement on whether we are staying home. Is the massive amount of health data collected during the pandemic going to be deleted once the dust settles?
Algorithms born of our prejudices
Are algorithms capable of discrimination? I am afraid they are. What complicates the question is the fact that algorithm developers can hardly be accused of malicious intent. How then could a mathematical formula put individuals and communities in harm’s way?
Millennials and Generation Z. A rented dress sounds sexier than a loan
As young consumers develop a preference for sharing or renting goods and services over purchasing, global business is confronted with an interesting challenge.
The city as an operating system
The notion of a smart city goes back several years. By now, urban areas run partly by algorithms can be found on all continents. And yet, Google’s idea to move nearly every aspect of a city district’s operation to a server is a whole new quality.
What will life be like in the “brave new world”?
By now, urban areas run partly by algorithms can be found on all continents. And yet, Google’s idea to move nearly every aspect of a city district’s operation to a server is a whole new quality.
Is it possible to regulate AI and do we need such regulation?
I do not believe that attempts to regulate artificial intelligence are an unnecessary nuisance or a curb on the free distribution of ideas and business freedom. A technology that develops beyond our control and that self-improves without a programmer’s intervention, becomes powerful indeed.
Cognitive computing – a skill-set widely considered to be the most vital manifestation of artificial intelligence
Will computers ever amaze us again in any way? Some potential for amazement may lie in cognitive computing – a skill-set widely considered to be the most vital manifestation of AI.
Generation C. “C” for connected
What consequences of digitization should a modern company reckon with? What should it do to survive in a market swept by a digital revolution? Described below are some key elements one might want to consider in designing a digitization strategy.
How to regulate artificial intelligence?
Lawyers, politicians and business people alike feel that the laws in place are failing to keep up with technological advances. Is it possible to regulate artificial intelligence efficiently and do we need such regulation?
Will AI save the labor market?
The question in my title may sound like heresy. There is no denying that smart algorithms can fascinate and delight us. They can enable digital transformations in business, revolutionize marketing methods and foster a world of efficiency, high speed and profit. But can they be our lifeline?
We, the last generation of Homo sapiens
Biotechnology, genetics and artificial intelligence will put Homo Sapiens on an evolutionary path that will forever change the face of human existence. This is how one of the most-popular contemporary thinkers, the Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari, sees our future in the next century.
Wearables. How about an electronic coat?
Ever wanted to monitor your heart rhythm, track your brain activity while you sleep or track your calorie burn while jogging? If so, here’s a perfect solution for you. Put on an electronic wristband and gain unlimited insights into the way your body works. Welcome to the world of smart gadgets that know more about you than you do yourself.
Leadership. It takes a wider perspective to win
Whether they want it or not, leaders are cogs in a fast-moving machine, which requires them to clip their claws regularly. They must fight to keep their moral backbones from being crushed. What are some of the hard choices they face?
Data Driven Investor: Will AI save the labor market?
To show that the question in the title can be answered affirmatively, I am going to explore the way smart technologies help resolve social problems.
Artificial intelligence is an efficient banker
The innovative use of artificial intelligence in the financial industry is no passing fad. It is a must and a trend that seems to have no alternatives. Algorithms improve financial management and product selection for customers and automate the work of financial institutions.

Technology 2020. Algorithms in the cloud, food from printers and microscopes in our bodies
The trends I am describing are not isolated, meaning that growth in any given area, will have a spill-over effect and feed into other trends, including those left out from this year’s selection, such as the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles and blockchain.
Data Driven Investor: Tech Trends 2020
The trends I am describing will have a spill-over effect and feed into other trends, including those left out from this year’s selection, such as the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles and blockchain.
Alibaba Cloud: What’s More Valuable, User Experience or Our Data?
Monetization of customer experience will progress at an increasing pace. Commercialization of this trend began around 2000 when the so-called internet bubble happened. Coincidence?
Data Driven Investor: Startups and Corporations: What can they learn from each other?
We live in an age that puts a lot of store by innovation, flexibility and creativity in business. These values are most commonly mentioned by technology start-ups which, despite their small sizes, have a huge appetite for market success.
Learn like a machine, if not harder
I find it quite hard to imagine a world in which almost all work is automated and only a select few privileged people get to hold a job. I am nevertheless of the opinion that those who fail to continue learning throughout their lifetimes are going to end up on the peripheries of the job market.
Start-ups and corporations. What can they learn from each other?
Start-ups can be very compelling in their steadfast conviction that the things they do are special. Unfortunately, in most cases, their eager spirit alone won’t secure their survival. Can the values espoused by fledgling entrepreneurs nevertheless inspire large-company CEOs? Or perhaps it is the latter that can serve as role models for small businesses?
Data Driven Investor: What’s More Valuable: User Experience or Our Data?
The world has forced us to democratize the handling of tools that rely on sophisticated technologies. The rule, therefore, is that simpler is better.
Time we talked to our machines
We talk to our machines more and more often: the smartphones, computers and digital assistants on our desks. Are keyboards, and the manual operation of electronic devices, becoming obsolete?
Data Driven Investor: In the Digital Economy You are For Sale
Today, the world’s economies increasingly rely on the production of intangible goods. So, what should businesses do to become more competitive in an information-driven world?
What’s more valuable: user experience or our data?
Monetization of customer experience will progress at an increasing pace. Commercialization of this trend began around 2000, when the so-called internet bubble happened. Coincidence?
Four grim dreams of great technology
The non-technological world is virtually disappearing – it is becoming unknown and inaccessible. Any information one cannot look up on a web-enabled smartphone is considered to be either non-existent or of no consequence for the world. At least to my world.
Data Driven Investor: Time We Talked to Our Machines
Today, we can see creatures made by Boston Dynamics jump and run and perform acrobatics. Robots have become as agile as we are. In fact, AI has been acting ever more human-like, and not only in robotics.
The seductive business logic of algorithms
Certain machine behaviors never cease to amaze me. I’m astounded by their ability to learn from their accomplishments and from their interactions with we humans.
In the digital economy you are for sale
How should the company behave in order to strengthen competitiveness in the world of data for sale? What benefits can individual customers derive from a world dominated by huge data sets?
The blockchain smart contracts revolution
It is quite clear for everyone by now that smart blockchain-based contracts have the potential to revolutionize the way we conclude agreements, execute transactions and grant authorizations. They transform the way many industries work. What can the technology do for regular citizens and small businesses?
The Quantum Internet: A nightmare from a spy dream
Some people believe that quantum transmissions will provide absolute data security and one day become the foundation of all digital communication. Is that belief justified?
Quantum technology and quantum algorithms are evolving. What will they bring? I hope a lot of good.
What has made quantum computers so exciting lately? Perhaps the fact we are approaching the limits of computing capabilities of the kinds of transistor-based machines we have long been using. They are limited by the laws of physics, which prevent us from packing more processors on chipboard.
Will quantum computers enable us to defy the laws of physics?
Computers are used to solve problems, and the type of problems they solve depends on their algorithms and hardware as well as their capabilities and limitations. Imagine what would happen if you could lift these limitations once and for all? What would modern quantum computers be able to do then?
The Moguldom Nation: Will Blockchain Transform The Stock Market?
The rules that govern trades in financial assets have changed little over the past two or three centuries. Some say those rules have worked relatively well (apart from a few world-shattering crashes now and then). Does it need to change? Should it change? Can it change?
ODAILY China: Will blockchain transform the stock market?
Blockchain can make it easier to transfer property rights and other assets by reducing transactional costs and boosting trust between investors. But can it be used by the world’s largest stock exchanges?
Unlock – Blockchain will revolutionize Stock Exchanges
Today’s investor relies on a traditional system of buying, selling and accounting for transactions that are old enough to be called ossified. The system generates considerable costs and adds to the time needed to close transactions. This is because trading in financial assets requires multiple entities arranged in a complex web of intermediaries, settlement systems and business partners.
Will algorithms commit war crimes?
It’s clear that the military is developing smart technologies. We owe many of the innovations we know from civilian applications to military R&D, including the internet itself (which began as Arpanet), email, and autonomous vehicles. But today modern weaponry relying on machine and deep learning can achieve a worrisome autonomy.
Dear Citizen, blockchain will change your life!
Blockchain can bring huge benefits to the sectors of finance, energy and transport. But what about ordinary citizens, voters and entities that do not generate business value? Could this new technology prove its worth also in public administration?
Four Grim Dreams of Great Technology
Are there limits to this technological universe, which we’ve grown to take for granted? Are there serious warnings looming on the horizon that people are choosing to ignore? Here are a few threats affecting nearly the entire world of technology.
Machine, when will you learn to make love to me?
People’s lives are not all work. We need close human contact and emotional interactions with others. All this also concerns the area of eroticism. Are we in for a sexual revolution featuring artificial intelligence?
Want to know who the leader is? Ask him to make a key decision
One of the most valuable things that effective leaders can offer organizations is the ability to make the right decisions. The way they make them distinguishes outstanding leaders from those who are just average.
The Quantum Internet
Quantum computing and the quantum internet represent the most fascinating frontier of information science – extremely promising and full of yet-to-be-unraveled secrets. For global cybersecurity, quantum networks would be a real game-changer.

Are we ready for military AI?
Will Artificial Intelligence weapons soon be able to launch military operations independently of human input?
Will There Be an Internet of Electricity?
Blockchain, whose popularity has grown in lockstep with developments in the cryptocurrency market (Bitcoin, Ethereum, et. al.), is poised to expand into new territories. The energy industry, which is decentralizing gradually, may well advance blockchain more than the financial system will. Or, it may simply adopt it more extensively, sooner.
Technologies that will change 2019
It is not easy to imagine a technology that will receive as much publicity as the blockchain did last year but there’s little doubt that other new and innovative technologies will make even greater inroads into our daily lives in 2019.
Want to know who the leader is? Ask him to decide
Every person makes hundreds of decisions daily, most automatically and without reflection. The decisions made in organizations also are mostly routine, practically automatic.
Data Driven Investor: The Technologies Poised to Change the World in 2019
Rapid progress in artificial intelligence will continue to be made and be widely reported. Autonomous vehicles will proliferate, and it would be good to see serious, in-depth articles about industry regulation rather than last year’s sensational coverage focusing on accidents and disasters.
Will blockchain trigger a shakedown of the global financial system?
The financial crash of 2008 demonstrated (to some) that large financial institutions need to be closely watched and strictly regulated. The meltdown some believe also demonstrated the need for an alternative to complex, abuse-prone financial instruments held by few, and understood by even fewer.

Leadership in the Digital World – Interim Managers Association
Leadership in the digital age describes the skills needed by leaders in an ever-changing and more complex world.
The power of collective leadership
New leadership paradigm should be conceived as a continuous and collective process taking place within a network of employees and managers. The organization’s thinking would change from “who are our leaders?” To “what conditions does the organization need to meet for leadership to effectively strengthen emerging networks and relationships?”
The twilight of the leaders
What role will organizational leaders play in the future? They won’t go away, but some believe the charismatic-type company executive will see his role diminish as power, authority, and responsibility gets distributed among largely self-governing groups. Consequently, leaders will have to learn to live without some of the privileges to which they have grown accustomed.
Smart contracts on blockchain can revolutionize contracting mechanisms
One of the important features of the blockchain is that it eliminates intermediaries by directly connecting the parties to the transaction. Blockchain can be used to conclude contracts that would not require interference or confirmation by either party.
Data Driven Investor: Will There Be an Internet of Electricity?
Today’s energy users, who are still dependent on large distribution networks, will slowly become prosumers, free to choose how they will use their own resources, and perhaps contribute to creating the rules that govern the energy industry. We’re not there yet, but we will be within the next few years.
Organizational change begins with me
They teach us that a significant role in the transformation of an organization is played by clearly defined business goals, the relationship of a leader with people and well-chosen communication tools. And although I subscribe to this approach, I personally emphasize something else - individual experiences.
Effective leadership is about being flexible, thinking outside the box, taking risks, and being creative

Dear Voter! Blockchain will change your life!
Blockchain can definitely affect social organizations. Can the new technology be used successfully in public administration as well? Will it help governments inspire trust in citizens and make the latter feel they are better represented in public institutions?
BlockchainTech Congress II
The motto behind the event was "Revolution is comming". Is blockchain really a revolution? Frequently, there have been answers to such questions from industry specialists.
What is direction of transformation of the financial sector?
For centuries, trade has become an extremely complicated process, the complexity of which has deepened globalization - at the moment everyone can trade with everyone, anyone, anywhere in the world. If we change the perspective a bit, we will see that each transaction is de facto information.
The times of authoritarian bosses are over. What determines the success of the leader today?
Today, communication is important, the ability to discover potential in the team members, the partner flow of ideas between colleagues. A contemporary leader inspires and motivates others through his own commitment and passion.
Goals, relationships, experience? What plays the most important role in the transformation of the organization?
Without much problems we will find numerous studies on how to effectively manage change in the organization. I am convinced that a change in the organization that I want or intend - as a leader - to carry out, must also be based on personal foundations.
The potential of Artificial Intelligence and automation bring new challenges to contemporary leaders

We test our confidence in Artificial Intelligence and study the ethics lesson
Proponents of autonomous vehicles often cite the results of repeatedly repeated research results, which show that for 90-95 percent. The driver is responsible for accidents, not technology. Interestingly, modern technology - raising disputes and controversies - makes us think about basic values such as good and evil.
Myths of Artificial Intelligence
This text deals with the myths that revolve around Artificial Intelligence - in the media, in the network and in the minds of all of us. I dare say that this fear is highly unjustified.
Blockchain has earned admiration. Now is the time for trust
Blockchain has captured the attention of the financial sector because it handles high-volume transactions wonderfully. It is ideal in situations where settlements need to be instant and systems exceptionally efficient, and it has been proposed as a way to secure states against cyberattacks. In sum, blockchain is considered one of the most innovative and potentially useful technologies around.
How far we are from the global financial order change?
Perhaps everything that happens is a repetition of the history of Linux, which has already abandoned the image of the system created by the alternative and went to commercial ventures. Similarly, it will be with blockchain - after a time of heated discussions, it will become a standard for large companies, banks and even governments.
That is why leadership development programs do not bring the intended results
Today's leaders need many tools to help them lead or manage their increasingly complex organizations. Contemporary leaders also arrange their own continuing education programs, arranging external trainings, participating in webinars, tuning in to TED talks, and following the achievements of men and women they have identified as gurus.
Transformational leadership: Bringing order to chaos
The men and women leading the change need to be brave, aware of market trends and able to select the right people to help them. Even in an age of hyper-specialization, the leader’s versatility is the ultimate key to success.
