Futurized - thought leadership on the future
Technology
In this episode of the Futurized podcast, host Trond Arne Undheim interviews Daniel Theobald, Founder of Vecna and MassRobotics. They discuss the future of robotic AI, the major use cases in factories, logistics, and elsewhere, the impact of generative AI, and how technology's impact often is overestimated short term and underestimated long term. Daniel has clear opinions on the anthromorphizing of robots and AI.
Futurized goes beneath the trends to track the underlying forces of disruption in tech, policy, business models, social dynamics and the environment.
I’m your host, Trond Arne Undheim (@trondau), futurist, scholar, author, investor, and serial entrepreneur. I am a Research scholar in Global Systemic Risk, Innovation, and Policy at Stanford University. Join me as I discuss the societal impact of deep tech such as AI, blockchain, IoT, nanotech, quantum, robotics, and synthetic biology, and tackle topics such as entrepreneurship, trends, or the future of work. On the show, I interview smart people with a soul: founders, authors, executives, and other thought leaders, or even the occasional celebrity.
