5 Technologies That Will Change the World. How Will They Affect Your Journey as a
Leader?
Shikhar Ghosh (MBA 1980), MBA Class of 1961 Professor of Management Practice
E.O. Wilson observed that the "real problem of humanity is that we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology." We will examine 5 recently developed "godlike technologies" that have passed commercial viability and are on track to change the foundations of business and society by 2032 - AI, blockchain, ubiquitous networks, synthetic biology, and brain-computer interfaces - and examine their impact on who we are as individuals and as a species. What does it take to live a purposeful life in an age where everything can change and where existential threats are real?
