Topics, Sessions And Talks
AI is no longer an emerging technology; it is the engine reshaping every sector. Amy Webb, quantitative futurist and author of The Big Nine, connects today's breakthroughs to a future most leaders are not yet prepared for. Drawing on data-driven foresight and original scenarios spanning both optimistic and catastrophic outcomes, Amy reveals what comes next in generative models and AGI, and gives leaders the frameworks to actively shape their organizations' AI trajectory.
Amy Webb introduced a radical new concept in a widely-shared paper: Living Intelligence — systems that sense, learn, adapt, and evolve through the convergence of AI, advanced sensors, and biotechnology. In this session, Amy reveals how Living Intelligence is driving an exponential cycle of innovation that is reshaping healthcare, agriculture, energy, and beyond. Leaders who focus solely on AI while ignoring its fusion with the physical and biological realms risk being blindsided by the disruption already forming.
Amy Webb, founder and CEO of the Future Today Strategy Group, develops an original, bespoke set of scenarios describing an organization or industry's plausible futures across a client's chosen time horizon — 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. Drawing from her firm's longitudinal research, Amy delivers crisp, practical insights for achieving a preferred future, putting probable answers to tomorrow's most pressing questions directly in leaders' hands.
How do organizations distinguish between what's genuinely transformative and what's merely trendy? Amy Webb taps into her firm's research and the client's own industry to surface curated, data-driven longitudinal tech trends, connecting forces from within and outside the field to illustrate chain reactions, potential outcomes, and concrete strategies for staying ahead of disruption. This highly customized talk has been delivered at SXSW and the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Drawing from her bestselling book The Signals Are Talking, Amy Webb shares the strategic tools futurists use to anticipate disruption, rethink risk, and know when to act. She presents an adaptable framework for future-focused thinking, including original scenarios for emerging technologies across audiences' industries and adjacent sectors — from synthetic biotechnology and AI to spatial computing. Leaders leave with a practical method for forecasting what's on the horizon and building toward their preferred future.
