#178 - Navigating the Trivergence: AI, Blockchain, and IoT Shaping Tomorrow

Take a voyage through the technological tides with our guide Bob Tapscott, a tech sage with a compass always pointed to the future. His tales of shaping global banking systems and pioneering Wall Street's tech landscape form the backbone of our latest discussion. Bob's early tryst with the wonders of computer science and subsequent odyssey through a myriad of tech roles illuminates our chat, setting the stage for a deep exploration of the 'Trivergence'—the powerful confluence of AI, blockchain, and the Internet of Things. Together, we chart a course to navigate this convergence, uncovering strategies to harness its potential and steer toward success in the ever-changing waters of tomorrow.This episode's narrative sails through the tech industry's frenzied gold rush, where NVIDIA emerges as the digital age's astute shovel seller, reaping success by equipping the miners of the virtual frontier. Bob sheds light on the immutable blockchain ledger, contemplating its role in redefining data control and the emergence of Web3 as a beacon of internet decentralization. The wind in our sails, AI's transformative gust, promises to revolutionize our professional and personal landscapes within a mere half-decade, challenging the status quo of technology centralization and stirring the waters of innovation.Our conversation takes a sobering turn as we consider AI's rising tide on employment and education. We echo John Maynard Keynes's vision of a leisure-rich society, yet grapple with the ethical maelstroms AI might unleash. Bob emphasizes the importance of an informed public discourse and continuous learning to stay afloat in tomorrow's job market. As we anchor our discussion, we reflect on the lessons of the industrial revolution, contemplating the dual nature of AI as a tool for progress and disruption, and call on society to navigate these transformative times with wisdom and foresight.To Learn more about AI:1) https://www.coursera.org/learn/introduction-to-ai?action=enroll2) https://www.zdnet.com/article/have-10-hours-ibm-will-train-you-in-ai-fundamentals-for-free/3) https://www.mygreatlearning.com/academy/learn-for-free/courses/chatgpt-for-beginners4) https://www.mygreatlearning.com/academy/learn-for-free/courses/chatgpt-for-finance5) https://app.pluralsight.com/ilx/video-courses/clips/7bcfc4f8-17e2-4616-bbdc-d4e636f8ae9d To Learn more about Bob's Book Trivergence:1) https://mitpressbookstore.mit.edu/book/97813942266102) https://www.amazon.ca/TRIVERGENCE-Accelerating-Innovation-Blockchain-Internet/dp/1394226616To Contact Bob Tapscott:Email: bob@tapscott.com To Reach Jordan:Email: Jordan@Edwards.Consulting Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93Zw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/ Hope you find value in this.
