Tech Humanist: How to Make Technology Better for Business and Better for Humans

At a time when every business in every industry faces digital transformation or disruption due to emerging technologies, new business models, fickle platforms, and evolving customer expectations, how can you be sure you’re making the right decisions and investments to secure your company’s future?
What’s more, with everything changing so fast, what can you do to prevent ending up on the wrong side of data breaches and overreaches, ethics and regulatory missteps, and PR nightmares?
In this keynote, Kate O’Neill pulls it all together and puts it in context. She surveys the ups and downs of the emerging technology and cultural trends landscape to demonstrate how the decisions companies make have far-reaching impact both to their bottom line — and to the future of human experience as a whole.

Automation, Integration, AI, And The Future Of Meaningful Human Experience
IDEAL FOR: industry conferences, corporate events, forward-thinking technology events

considers that every day our physical surroundings and our digital interactions converge more and more, through data analytics, connected devices and the Internet of Things, wearable technology, geo-tagged and geo-targeted social media, surveillance, sensors and beacons, and so on

posits that our human experiences create a targeted feedback loop, defining our opportunities, our relationships, our knowledge, and, ultimately, our selves

advocates thinking beyond the customer context to a holistic human experience that blends online and offline interactions, and building lifetime value through relevant and respectful use of data

explores the relationship between meaning, intention, data tracking, and human experience

offers practical insights on how businesses can harness data and technology to create innovative experiences that form the basis of more meaningful and profitable relationships with customers


Humanity At Scale: Data, Emerging Tech, And The Future Of Meaningful Human Experience
IDEAL FOR: corporate audiences, industry conferences

considers the emphasis in business on artificial intelligence, automation of various kinds, and digital transformation

Better Technology For The Future Of Humanity And Why We All Need To Build It
IDEAL FOR: technology events wanting to emphasize diversity and inclusion; diversity and inclusion events wanting to emphasize technology

considers that emerging technologies and the technologies of the future are increasingly immersive, and the data about us that shapes our everyday experiences, both online and offline, will increasingly affect our surroundings, our opportunities, and our well-being in seamless, holistic ways

argues for building the best futures for the most people

offers encouragement, clarity, and practical steps for a more diverse and inclusive group of humans to influence the future of human experiences


A Tech Humanist Look At The Future Of Work
From AI-enabled recruitment systems to virtual presence robots, even the workplace of the present can seem a little strange. But what do emerging and exponential technologies mean for the future of human jobs? It no longer sounds alarmist to say that at least some parts of our jobs are probably going to be replaced by automation or by cognitive computing. Depending on which forecast you consult, as many as half of all job categories risk displacement, if not complete replacement, by machines in the years to come. There will certainly be impacts on the economy, on production, on efficiencies of scale, and on innovation. But beyond the economic impacts, how will this shift our human understanding of meaningful work, of accomplishment, of achievement? And how can companies prepare for workplaces that increasingly blend human and machine contributions? This thought-provoking and ultimately inspiring talk from Kate O'Neill, author of Tech Humanist, offers clarity, encouragement, and a thoughtful approach for business leaders to adapt to the big changes ahead while grounding the discussion in the timeless fundamentals of humanity.
