IFTF News from the Future: June 2015

Join us June 16-17 for The Automated World: Toward Human+Machine Symbiosis

We’re on the verge of transformation on an entirely new scale. Technologies of automation are set to permanently alter how we get things done. At the first of our 2015 Technology Horizons conferences, we'll examine how emerging technologies will be combined and configured to impact all aspects of human life. We'll map opportunities and dilemmas at three scales—people and daily life, organizations and work, and cities and systems—creating forecasts of the affordances, conflicts, and transformations made possible by an automated world. Contact Sean Ness for more information. More »
