#DisruptiveTech 🔵 Making the case for diffusion: an interesting argument. In their obsession to win the future, both Chinese and American leaders risk overlooking a key truth about technology and transformation. They worry about dominating critical technological innovations in new, fast-growing industries, believing that the global balance of economic power tips toward the states that pioneer the most important innovations. In this view, the United Kingdom in the nineteenth century became the world’s most productive economy because it was home to new advances that transformed its burgeoning textile industry, such as the spinning jenny. But innovation only gets you so far. Without the humbler undertaking of diffusion—how innovations spread and are adopted—even the most extraordinary advances will not matter. A country’s ability to embrace technologies at scale is especially important for technologies such as electricity and AI, foundational advances that boost productivity only after many sectors of the economy begin to use them. A focus on the diffusion of technology points toward an alternative explanation for how technological revolutions change geopolitics: it matters less which country first introduces a major innovation and more which countries adopt and spread those innovations. #innovation #diffusion #ai Campaign Catapult, Pravo Consulting

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they never stopped to think if they should." This powerful quote reminds us of a critical aspect of innovation: responsibility. While breakthroughs in technology and science push boundaries, they also raise ethical dilemmas. From unregulated AI systems making life-altering decisions to advancements in biotechnology that challenge natural limits, the line between progress and peril is often razor-thin. The question isn't just can we create, but should we? Every innovation carries consequences, intended or not. As creators, developers, and thinkers, it's essential to pair ambition with accountability, ensuring progress serves humanity rather than jeopardizing it. Let’s build not just smarter, but wiser futures. 🌍✨ Follow Dr.K.V.N. Rajesh for latest technology innovations and updates

Stay tuned as we prepare to share our findings!
CEO of FTSG • Global Leader in Strategic Foresight • Quantitative Futurist • Prof at NYU Stern • Cyclist
💡 Groundbreaking new research from Future Today Institute is coming in a few short weeks. In the meantime, here's a preview... The Technology Supercycle The concept of a “supercycle,” rooted in traditional economic theory, refers to an extended phase of heightened demand that significantly drives up the prices of commodities and assets. These periods, spanning years or even decades, catalyze profound and enduring structural transformations within the economy. Historically, economic supercycles have often been triggered by the advent of a single “general purpose technology.” For instance, the Industrial Revolution was spurred by the steam engine, marking a significant economic supercycle. Similarly, the Internet Era, driven by digital technology, constituted another major economic supercycle. However, recent findings from our research indicate a shift in this pattern. Instead of a single technology driving these cycles, we are now witnessing the convergence of three pivotal general purpose technologies: AI, biotechnology, and connected ecosystems of things (think: sensor tech). This triad of technological forces is intricately linked not only to each other but also extends their influence across all existing technologies, encompassing sectors as diverse as science, space, and sports, and permeating every business and facet of daily life. We have entered a Technology Supercycle, which will result in a prolonged period of rapid technological advancements and widespread adoption that significantly transforms economies and societies. The coming wave of innovation is robust and allencompassing, and it is poised to fundamentally reshape our existence in ways that are both positive and problematic. This paradigm shift promises a future that is as exciting as it is challenging, signaling a new era of unprecedented technological integration and economic transformation. Stay tuned for our report and guidance on how to manage through the technology supercycle that's already underway.

I am pleased to invite you to the launch of our book (co-edited with my colleague Zia Qureshi) on “Harnessing Technology for Inclusive Prosperity: Growth, Work, and Inequality in the Digital Era” Transformative new technologies are reshaping economies and societies. But as they create new opportunities, they also pose new challenges, not least of which is rising inequality. Increased disparities and related anxieties are stoking societal discontent and political ferment. Harnessing technological transformation in ways that foster its benefits, contain risks, and build inclusive prosperity is a major public policy challenge of our time. In what ways are the new technologies altering markets, business models, work, and, in turn, economic growth and income distribution? How are they affecting inequality within advanced and emerging economies and the prospects for economic convergence between them? What are the implications for public policy? What new thinking and adaptations are needed to realign institutions and policies, at national and global levels, with the new dynamics of the digital era? For answers to these questions please join us on Monday July 15. https://lnkd.in/eGFVgTjz
