S04 EP. 15 Mark van Rijmenam - Navigating Hype Cycles in Tech: Communities, Prototyping, and Convergence
Manage episode 362180016 series 2825657
In this new episode of the Boundaryless Conversation Podcast, Mark van Rijmenam examines the hype cycle surrounding AI and the perceived decline of interest in the Metaverse. He argues that these emerging technologies are not mutually exclusive and that the Metaverse still has significant potential for development with the application of AI.
Dr. Mark van Rijmenam is an international keynote speaker, author, and entrepreneur. He is a leading future tech strategist who considers how technology changes organizations, society, and the Metaverse. A globally recognized speaker and expert on disruptive innovation, Mark explores how we can benefit from emerging technologies like big data, blockchain, AI, and VR/AR. He is the author of “Step into the Metaverse: How the Immersive Internet Will Unlock a Trillion-Dollar Social Economy,” which details what the open Metaverse is and how organizations and consumers can benefit from the immersive internet.
Mark emphasizes the importance for organizations to develop digital capabilities, which he refers to as “DNA,” to stay ahead of technology trends and avoid getting caught up in hype cycles. We also discuss the challenge of developing responsible and ethical technology, with suggestions for oversight boards and regulatory requirements to ensure alignment with ethical values.
Key Highlights
👉 Being part of communities online and offline is essential to discovering and understanding new technologies.
👉 Convergence is crucial to understanding how new technologies will combine with existing trends.
👉 The pattern of “hype and crash” for emerging technologies has occurred repeatedly in the past.
👉 Organizations need to develop digital capabilities to understand and stay ahead of emerging technology trends today.
👉 The lines between the digital world and the physical world are blurring, with implications for both work and private life.
👉 Reading about new technologies is not enough - practical application and critical thinking are necessary to truly understand them.
