GTM14 - Preparing for the Future, with Steve Brown, Futurist, Author and previous Evangelist at Intel

Intel futurist Steve Brown delivers a provocative take on how the pandemic permanently reshaped work and technology adoption, predicting massive turnover as companies force return-to-office mandates. He makes the case that we're entering an era of 'work-life fusion' while exploring how advances in natural language processing and three-nanometer computing will make AI a collaborative ingredient in everything from creative design to smart cities.

Key takeaways

  • Expect up to 30% employee turnover as companies demanding office returns face mass resignations from workers who've proven their remote productivity.
  • Natural language processing breakthroughs like Lambda and GPT-3 are moving beyond simple voice commands to enable genuine computer conversations that produce human-readable insights.
  • Work-life balance is dead—the future belongs to 'work-life fusion' where professional and personal boundaries blend according to employee preferences rather than corporate mandates.
  • Generative AI will emerge as collaborative design partner, enhancing rather than replacing creative professionals from engineers to architects.
  • Three-nanometer chip technology makes computing cheap enough to embed thinking capabilities into virtually everything, reviving smart city concepts despite past failures.
