At SRI International today with i4j Chair David Nordfors, Vint Cerf, Thomas Friedman, and SRI CEO Carl Carlson.
A fascinating salon with eclectic thinkers. Here are the papers. I was especially interested in the last one “If Machines Are Capable of Doing Almost Any Work Humans Can Do, What Will Humans Do?”
Some choice quotes, without attribution:
“This country looks so much better from the bottom up than the top down.”
“It’s all about work, meaningful work, not jobs. Work may not involve renumeration. Much of the economy is voluntary.”
“The Internet of Things will create another outsourcing wave and disarticulate companies. It will change the nature of organizations.”
“If you don’t wake up asking what world am I living in, you can’t succeed in this world.”
