Multidisciplinarity is Key to Understanding the Future
Multidisciplinarity is the foundation of all my thinking and research. With a Master’s in Economics and a PhD in communication, I have adopted a broad perspective that transcends the boundaries of individual disciplines. This multidisciplinary approach has enriched my insights and helped me discover new and stimulating ideas. Scientific curiosity and openness to other disciplines are crucial in discovering and understanding new knowledge.
Excited About AI
I am immensely excited about AI and use conversational AI daily. The potential of AI to change the world fascinates me greatly, and I have sought to understand its impacts deeply. Additionally, I am interested in the metaverse and augmented reality solutions. These technologies offer people new ways to experience reality and interact with the surrounding world. I believe that combining AI, the metaverse, and augmented reality can significantly change our society. Of course, there are also risks associated with these technologies that are important to address.
Science Fiction and Imagining the Future
Science fiction, both books and movies, has always inspired people to imagine possible futures. Through fictional stories, we can explore the world in various scenarios and with technological advancements. These works provide an intriguing tool for discussing future challenges and opportunities. Especially dystopias make us ponder how we can prevent society from descending into these worlds. I am inspired by how science fiction can help us understand potential changes and inspire us to develop solutions to possible problems.
