In Conversation with Dr. Pippa Malmgren - The Expanding Future: Exploring Opportunities Up, Down, In and Out
While recent headlines and the potential negative impact of AI on the workforce have created volatility across global markets, there remains an untapped and expanding universe of opportunities from rapid scientific discovery. In the new episode of the Think Wealth Client Connect series, Willem Sels, our Global Chief Investment Officer, spoke with Dr. Pippa Malmgren, former US Presidential Adviser and former Adviser to the UK Cabinet, about investing in innovation, adapting skills, and leaning into new technology rather than fear.
Key themes include:
- Explore emerging tech opportunities in four directions: Up, Down, In, and Out
- Up: Ground-up innovation including modular housing and 3D-printed hospitals, as well as the space economy
- Down: Atomic and nano advances such as small modular reactors and nuclear fusion
- In: Health and longevity breakthroughs
- Out: Borderless systems including supercomputing networks and global digital networks
- Automation, robotics, and AI will enable job and wealth creation, but they require businesses and individuals to change their ways of working
- Rethink humanoids as tools, instead of a threat
- The age of innovation calls for greater creative and imaginal skills over analytical ones
