Welcome back to New Cyber Frontier! Today we speak with guest Dejan Milojicic, Hewlett Packard Enterprises Senior Scientist and Chair of IEEE Future Directions Industry Advisory Board. IEEE has recently announced the release of an epic work effort spanning several years, supported by experts from many industries and backgrounds. The resultant IEEE Megatrends Report will more than likely be one of the most referenced and reliable technology future-looking publications available in the world. In this episode, we provide an overview of what this report means to the markets and how it compares to other industry futures reports from corporate sources such as Gartner and Forrester. Since the IEEE is an individual membership-funded organization focused on the betterment of humanity, we see a much broader resource in its reports vs. others which may have a bias to support trendier conclusions. It is a great full-spectrum resource that includes many insights that explain why some of the most upcoming technologies may be found in areas most financial industry reports have undervalued. This resource has identified three Megatrends that underlie most of the direction of technology development and show how they are anticipated to yield substantial impacts worldwide. Hear the discussion on how the megatrends were determined and how they are impacting us ethically, economically, socially, or ecologically. The three major Megatrends each correlate to one another and anyone looking at future needs will want to ensure they are aligned at the intersection of the major sociological trends that they represent. In today’s show, Dr. Milojicic only scratches the surface of the three megatrends: Artificial General Intelligence, Sustainability, and Digital transformation, but there is so much information in the report that you will want to download it to absorb it for yourself. Tune in to today’s podcast to see how Megatrends change the world!
