Visionary Keynotes
Karen Kornbluh, Executive VP, External Affairs, Nielsen
From her work at the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to leading U.S. President Barack Obama’s policy team to serving as the U.S. Ambassador to the OECD, Karen Kornbluh has a rare background in analyzing and devising policy around technology and communications. Here she offers thoughts on the future of privacy, technological jurisdiction, and the lasting effects of the U.S. presidential election.
Gerd Leonhard, Futurist, Humanist, Author, CEO, The Futures Agency
Gerd Leonhard focuses on ‘hard futures’, eventualities that are almost certain to come to pass, and how they will change the way we live, work and play. As he looks into the future of human-machine interactions, near-constant and ubiquitous surveillance and the Faustian bargains of ‘free’ Internet services, he sees a panoply of privacy issues with which we will have to grapple.
Nuria Oliver, Scientific Director, Telefónica
Nuria Oliver is a leading computer scientist examining the most pressing issues in artificial intelligence, big data, and how both can have a positive impact on society at large.
