2023 NZ Hi Tech Awards

Futurist Ben Reid interview intro

Tech in Christchurch

What is a futurist?

Were you surprised by generative AI?

How will AI change the way we work?

What about the companies who own the AI?

Are Kiwis keeping up?

How much regulating should govt be doing?

Can robotics grow manufacturing in NZ?

Is the 'metaverse' still a thing?

Will biotech help us live forever?

What is the potential for gene editing?

Are we headed to the quantum realm?

Why or how should we "get off the grass"?

Post interview discussion

In Episode 9 of The Business of Tech we quickly dip into the 2023 NZ Hi Tech Awards.

Then, we catch up with Ben Reid, Aotearoa's leading futurist, the creator of the influential Memia weekly newsletter, NZTE Beachheads advisor, and business consultant.

What do Kiwi businesses need to know about the generative AI revolution? Can robotics help transform our manufacturing sector, and is there still life in the metaverse?

Tune in to hear Ben's take on all of this and insight on how we, in the words of Sir Paul Callaghan, "get off the grass" and build a low-carbon weightless economy.
