Panel discussion (Davos 2018, Salesforce-hosted) on Leadership in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Five panelists (Will.i.am; Lorana/Global Shapers; Al Gore; Diane Greene; Joe Kaeser) give short (≈3-minute) forecasts for the next five years (to 2023) and longer-term reflections (10+ years). Major themes: a shift from phones to always-on voice/AI interfaces and a coming class of AI-native devices; community empowerment via AI and blockchain and data-as-currency/individual data ownership; an accelerating sustainability revolution (renewables, electric vehicles, Paris Agreement five-year review); and risks from inequality and disrupted labor markets, with calls for business to serve society and net-net GDP growth to include displaced workers.
