HOW TO SAVE OUR WORLD: at least 1.7 million people on all platforms have already watched my webcast for @enelgreenpower on green tech and climate change threats. SHOCKING truth about lack of progress - but some very good news for the future. pscp.tv/enelgreenpower/1dRKZ…

AI Robots taking over operating theatres? Join me at RISE UK 2026 - giving opening keynote. 95% of ALL surgery in UK and many other nations will be robot assisted in 10 years. AI-Robots will soon be operating independently (not just as servo-arms of human beings). 30 million hours of robotic operations already. 20% of all ops in UK are now robot-assisted. - 12m procedures globally growing by 1.5m a year - 60,000 surgeons trained - 6,000 robots in operating theatres globally A stage further will be AI controlling endoscopic arms itself, with surgeon looking on. We can train AI with all the video of previous operations etc. This is just a small part of the AI revolution taking place across health care, which will save 10 million lives a year by 2035. A third of surgeons think AI-robots will be carrying out many procedures within a decade or two - surgeon present but not interfering. A key issues will be legal liability, if AI-robotics are proven to be safer and consistent with superb clinical outcomes, compared to average surgeons, for some procedures. All this will in the longer term create profound challenges for training as well as supervision. cornerstonemed.co.uk/rise-uk…

How will the Russia-Ukraine conflict be settled and when? Here's link to a detailed post to explain it all. The truth is that it is not possible for Russia to continue a sustained campaign at current intensity for another 3-5 years without massive and lasting economic damage. So long as the Russian army can show it is making reasonable progress in capturing territory that belongs to Ukraine, generals may argue, together with President Putin that it is all worthwhile. But if the majority of the Russian people, including the entire armed forces, become convinced that month by month losses are achieving little or no military gains, with zero strategic significance, then pressure will grow for some kind of settlement. globalchange.com/the-future-…

Connect your brain into AI - Neuralink chips. 5% of US GenZ want one! But most people do NOT want AI inside their heads. Keynote on global trends including AI for Prime Minister's Office in UAE. Lesson: emotion is even more important than innovation, technology, AI etc - connect with passion and purpose to solve real problems and change the world. Future Forum event held in Dubai for 400 government leaders and Ministers. youtube.com/watch?v=9IExKYfh…

AI-Robotic surgery in 95% of operations by 2035. 30m procedures already globally. AI-Robot Surgeons will soon be operating themselves (not just as servo-arms of human beings) - and within 10 years will be carrying out major procedures independently. My keynote to Royal College of Surgeons in UK this week. 30 million hours of robotic operations have already been carried out. 20% of all ops in UK are robot-assisted already, which will rise to 95% by 2035. This is just a small part of the AI revolution taking place across health care, which will save 10 million lives a year by 2035. youtube.com/watch?v=Co4KJyRX…

Here's the truth about our "crazy world". It's easy to be swept off balance by one media headline after another, and miss what's really important for the future. Yes the world can feel increasingly chaotic and uncertain, but beyond the media frenzy the truth is that for most corporations, the fundamentals that have driven their growth and success over the last 20-30 years will continue to do so. Take electric vehicles - goodness me, Futurists like myself predicted over 20 years ago that after a slow start, they would become increasingly important, and eventually dominate. Indeed, most debates in board rooms today are not so much about what is going to happen, but is about TIMING. For more - see globalchange.com/how-to-surv…

How robots will be taking over from surgeons for many procedures within 10-15 years. 20% of all ops already robot-assisted in the UK NHS. Keynote for Royal College of Surgeons on the future of surgery, robotics and health care - powered by AI. Already 30 million hours of ops / video to train AI. youtube.com/watch?v=Co4KJyRX…

AI will massively impact construction and engineering including infrastructure development, new roads, rail, airports, power stations, smart cities and so on. Here's part of my keynote for the Prime Minister's Office in UAE. youtube.com/watch?v=QJWju-uC…

AI is rapidly enhancing our health and wellbeing, with potential to save 10 million lives annually. Key advances include: - Instant detection of medical issues via mobile Apps and wearables - Faster and more accurate cancer diagnosis (scan results) - Prevention of medical errors in prescribing (400,000 deaths a year in US) - Support for doctors and assistance for surgeons - Prediction of future illnesses - 10-20 years ahead - Insights from genetic prophecy through the genome project - Home monitoring for sick patients - virtual wards Huge future impact of AI on the pharma industry eg: - Drug discovery - entire new types of drugs proposed - Drug development - instant prototyping / fast cell testing - Clinical trials - double recruitment speed / shorten trials - Submissions for FDA approval - save weeks or months Part of a keynote presentation on global trends for the Prime Minister's Office - UAE.

It's an excellent book Patrick - well done!

Thanks Fernandez!

Edinburgh Airport: delighted + surprised! Published exactly 12 months ago, still ranked among "Best Selling Non-Fiction" in airports around the world (WH Smiths). Thank you to all of you readers - and for all your warm messages which arrive almost every day. "How AI Will Change Your Life" is a 30 year view of AI future, and what that means for our personal lives, workplace, industry and government - 24 chapters ranging from AI impact on employment (net impact will be less than you may fear), AI in health (huge benefit), to areas such as AI in cyberattacks (very worrying) and AI in survellance / military (nightmare). 12 steps for every individual to AI-proof your life, 10 steps for business and 10 steps for every government.amazon.co.uk/How-Will-Change…

Large companies make their OWN future with innovation, leading markets. Most board debates about global trends are usually about timing. Too early, you are toast. Too late, out of the game. Futurist keynote speaker Patrick Dixon commenting on how corporations develop strategy. The truth is that many global trends change more slowly than most people imagine.

Life in 2100: About to give Logistics / AI keynote here in Sweden at @LogistikTrender. Some things will change v slowly eg ship size (limited by Panama / Suez canals), truck size (road strength and width of roads), and container size (to fit). But AI will completely transform how freight is managed - within the next 10-15 years and far beyond. AI will also set up and manage its own direct “factory to home” businesses within 20 years, competing with traditional warehousing pattern - like Temu x 100,000.

Heathrow Airport today: 8 months in Best-Seller Chart at WH Smith."How AI Will Change Your Life". Thanks to everyone! 20 years ago I predicted physical books would do well - most other Futurists said they would die. Record numbers physical books bought last year in the UK. Biggest age group buying is 18-30 year olds who are also flooding into local libraries, fed up with constant eye strain from smartphones.

TRUTH ABOUT TRADE WAR: over next 2 months >100 nations will offer the White House "better trade terms" and a wide range of other concessions - economic and political. Most will be accepted in exchange for lighter Tarrifs. Expect a big White House announcement - effectively "Liberation Day II" - before October, claiming trillions of dollars of additional US exports will now flow largely tariff free over the next decade, that most of 2nd April tariffs have been massively reduced or cancelled, and that White House policy of "America First" has "won yet again". However, there is major risk of further chaos caused by multiple conflicting government announcements. But Mid-term US elections now less than 2 years away so time rapidly running out to fix all this. globalchange.com/truth-about…

TRUTH about the US Trade War - what next?? Market forces more powerful than Presidents. FACTS: Within a week of 2nd April Tarriffs: 1. Stocks collapsed. 2. Corporate investments cancelled. 3. Investors demanded higher interest on money lent to US government. 4. Tarrifs largely suspended - at least 90 days. 5. Trust lost in reliability of US trade policy. 6. Status of US weakened. 7. US opinion polls show voters becoming worried. 8. Frenzy of diplomacy / trade delegations from other governments to White House. EXPECT multiple new trade deals to be announced by White House, completed in 3-6 months, boosting US exports in exchange for lower tarrifs. And common sense will prevail in markets - eventually. But some risk of contagion and longer term economic issues.
