What you’re about to listen to is a recording between Walsh and Martin Raymond, the co-founder of The Future Laboratory, in which they cover the future of leadership, human intuition vs algorithm analysis, digital biology, the rise of Chinese AI, and perhaps the most pressing question of all: what is the true potential of human intelligence in the twenty-first century?

The senior housing providers that “actively try to put themselves out of business” will be the most successful in 20 years, says author and futurist Brian Solis, while AI is going to help millions of seniors maintain independence and avoid isolation, says fellow futurist and business strategist Mike Walsh.

Artificial intelligence , machine learning , blockchain, electric cars. If, at some point, you related these topics to companies of the future, know that you may be mistaken. At least, that's the opinion of Mike Walsh , futurist, writer and CEO of consultancy Tomorrow . In his view, companies of the future will still depend on people.

The majority of business professionals I meet these days accept that we are now deep in the digital age, where mountains of data are gathered on everything we do, online and offline. Yet most executives are struggling with how to harness this data with artificial intelligence and machine learning, and use it to hone their intuition and improve their business leadership.

The rise of deep learning and machine learning are radically changing our relationship to data. For evidence, look around you to see the impact that algorithms, data, and machine learning are already having on our daily lives. In his recent keynote address at Oversight’s [in]sight 2018 conference, futurist and author Mike Walsh challenged attendees to ask dangerous questions such as:

AUSTIN, Texas—The world is entering the “Algorithm Era.” Algorithms are already transforming society and business in ways we cannot even see. According to Mike Walsh, the key question to ask is: What kind of leaders are organizations going to need for an age of digital transformation? Walsh, a futurist and author, says there is a “widening gap” between the analog leader of the 20th century and the algorithmic leader of the 21st century.
