  • 28. Future of AI
    Aug 17 2022

    Over the past years, technology has grown from simple spreadsheets to precision surgeries. What’s next? Should we be fearful or hopeful about the future of AI? 

    In this episode, global foresight leader Sandeep Das dives into the current and future developments of AI. Joining him are experts in the technology industry: Global Chief Digital Officer at Mars Inc., Sandeep Dadlani, and Partner at Bain & Company, Rahul Shah. 

    Together, they give their insights into the future of AI and how it can change the world. They discuss the differences between AI applications, particularly in the East and West. According to Rahul, data regulation and privacy still need to grow. A global guideline won't be present soon, as all governments have different concerns and cultures. They also address digital detox and how to think about technology. Sandeep shares that every new technology will compete for our time and focus. It is important to retain what makes you human. 

    Remember, AI is ultimately a tool. Human experience and values are far more important than technology. 

    Want to know how AI will shape our future? And how we can be aware of exciting breakthroughs? Tune in to find out why we’re barely scratching the surface of AI and how much more it can change. Learn how we can harness AI to create better products and experiences for everyone.

  • 27. Virtual Humans
    Jul 13 2022

    As ever, we’re looking at tomorrow — the future of human interaction.

    Join our host, global foresight leader Lianne Kwan as she delves into the nature of a burgeoning online space: the metaverse.

    With her today is the CEO of Naver Z USA (Zepeto) Jungsuk Jay Lee, Managing Director Caroline So of Elmwood China, and the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Christopher Travers of the Offbeat Media Group.

    Together, we’ll look into the nature of virtual reality and online spaces. As our digital avatars increasingly become our primary representations, we must consider how this affects our interactions both online and in real life. What opportunities or threats might this bring? Do we know who is really behind an avatar — and, furthermore, does that even matter?

  • 26. Future of Food
    Jun 29 2022

    As a treats and snack company, our team at Mars Wrigley is obsessed with thinking about how consumer preferences and cultural values will impact the future of food. We’ve seen how brands act as cultural change agents, taking a stand on issues like climate change and other sustainable practices, while the ebb and flow of consumer adoption is not always consistent.

    In this episode, our host, global foresight leader Jo Lepore, dives into current developments being made within the food industry to create more sustainable, healthier, and delicious food. Joining her are three powerhouse experts and leaders within the food and health industry:

    Seth Goldman, Chief Change Agent at Eat the Change, Co-Founder at PLNT Burger, and Chair of the Board at Beyond Meat.

    Andrew Loader, Founder & CEO at Openway Food Co. and former Mars Wrigley General Manager.

    Kaitlin Mogentale, Founder and CEO at Pulp Pantry, an emerging upcycled food brand and Shark Tank alumni.

    Together, they give their insights into the future of food, health and opportunities for change. They also discuss the struggles and challenges in this movement, and how collaboration and conscious effort can address the prevalent issues within the food and health space.

    Want to know more about how food will become more sustainable in the future and what role consumers will play in this change? Tune in to find out how food brands and organizations can adapt their products to make them more planet-friendly and sustainable. Learn how consumers can help create better products that suit our individual, collective, and environmental needs.
