We are living through the most extraordinary period in human history, driven by the rapid rise of artificial intelligence. This keynote unpacks AI’s current capabilities and near-term potential, before diving into two transformational futures: the economic singularity, where automation could lead to mass unemployment and a leisure society, and the technological singularity, when machines surpass human intelligence. Will this century be the most important in human history? Calum offers a powerful, eye-opening exploration.
The coming decade will be defined by accelerating technological change. From the “two Big Bangs” that set this revolution in motion to the exponential growth shaping AI and robotics, Calum explores what’s ahead. He dives into the transformation of products—smartphones, self-driving cars, home robots—and services like healthcare and education. As AI edges closer to superintelligence, he asks: are we ready for what’s next?
In an age of exponential disruption, businesses and individuals must evolve—or risk becoming obsolete. Calum outlines why this is the best time in history for those who adapt. Companies must become ABLE: Agile, Bold, Learning-driven, and Experimental. Individuals must get REAL: Resilient, Entrepreneurial, Adaptable, and Lifelong learners. This talk is a rallying cry for future-focused thinking in the era of digital transformation.
Artificial intelligence is poised to revolutionize medicine—from diagnostics (“the ear and the rear”) to personalized treatments and AI-driven drug discovery. Calum explains the core of AI and its role in helping each of us become the CEO of our own health. With the rise of longevity science and AI-enabled care, the possibility of reaching “Longevity Escape Velocity” is no longer science fiction—it’s fast approaching.
Despite being a foundation of human progress, education has been slow to change. This keynote explores how AI is finally shaking up the way we learn. From intelligent tutoring systems and personalized learning journeys to immersive virtual classrooms, Calum shows how AI can reimagine education—not just to train for jobs, but to empower lifelong purpose. The future of learning is vacational, not just vocational.
