DAVID ROSE is a major speaker on The Internet of Things—the concept where everyday items become “enchanted objects,” able to anticipate our needs, talk with each other, and make life simpler. “In the scrum of talking heads wrestling to gain control of the narrative behind the Internet of Things,” The New York Times writes, “Rose is an engaging, plain-spoken guide.”

Rose is an instructor and researcher at the MIT Media Lab, and the author of the preeminent book on the Internet of Things, Enchanted Objects: Design, Human Desire, and the Internet of Things. “The history of computers has mostly been about efficiency,” Rose told The New York Times in a major three-page feature. “I think one of the things that's changing is that enchanted objects can be about adding emotion and magic to the fabric of our everyday lives and experiences.” He continues: “Our devices can be a lot simpler, and our interactions to them can be a lot simpler … These are ordinary things that have extraordinary capabilities.” A serial entrepreneur, Rose is the CEO at Ditto Labs, and was founder and CEO at Vitality, a company that reinvented medication packaging that is now distributed by CVS and Walgreens. He also founded Ambient Devices, which embedded internet information in objects such as lamps, mirrors, and umbrellas. He holds patents for photo sharing, interactive TV, ambient information displays, and medical devices. His work has been featured at the MoMA, and covered in Wired, The Economist, and The Colbert Report. |
“His storytelling is intellectually rich, laced with history and never pedantic. Enchanted Objects is a truly enlightening read.” |
Dreams of a Smart City How AI Wants to Take Care of Us
Two of the fastest moving technology waves, the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence, are advancing with the promise to transform how we drive, work, eat, and live on a daily basis. David Rose, AI entrepreneur, author of Enchanted Objects, and MIT Media Lab researcher, views—and orients—this brave new world through a uniquely human and optimistic lens. How will our relationship to technology and the so-called “smart city” change in a world of self-driving cars, robotic homes, ambient information displays, and seductive conversational agents? Rose will show you how with vivid examples that bridge the gap between realities.
The New AI Staying Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
For the first time, algorithms are flourishing where humans once ruled. We see the signs every day: conversational bots from Amazon and Google; driverless cars from Tesla and Apple; Facebook-powered “shopbots” from Macy’s. Even the home is under siege—interfaces like Amazon’s Echo and Google Home flood our living rooms with robotic chatter. And a recent study estimates that by 2020, we’ll have more conversations with bots than our spouses.
In this talk, David Rose, an MIT Media Lab researcher and CEO of award-winning AI company Ditto Labs, makes sense of the nuanced questions in this quickly evolving field. Is AI making our lives safer, interesting, and convenient? Or is it stealing jobs, jeopardizing personal privacy, and threatening our sense of humanity? What if machines are better than us? Which jobs will be taken over by AI entirely—only tasks that are tedious, dangerous, and demeaning—or more? And what ramifications will this have for businesses, from Fortune 500 legacies down to the tech start-ups now jamming the market? This could be the utopia we’ve dreamed of. But if not, Rose helps us imagine a new relationship with technology: one that lets business thrive, bolsters human connection, and preservers our humanity.
The New Vanguard for Business Connectivity, Design, and the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things is the hottest topic of the moment—a shift predicted to be as momentous as the impact of the internet itself. The internet has allowed us to share ideas and data largely input by humans. What about a world where data from objects as diverse as umbrellas, fridges, and gas tanks all flows through the internet? We are truly at the frontier of a new, hyper-connected future: and MIT Media Lab’s David Rose is our guide. Author of the first major book on the subject, Rose is bringing the inevitable takeover of the Internet of Things to the forefront of public consciousness. If you own a business, if your company makes a product, if you are involved in manufacturing, supply chain management, environmental monitoring, transport, retail, healthcare, urban planning, architecture, design—literally any industry—your sector will be affected. In this mind-opening talk, Rose explains how to get in on the ground floor of the Internet of Things or, as it’s known in the manufacturing sector, Industry 4.0 (the fourth industrial revolution). He describes how products are poised to become services, and how we will be creating new user experiences, not new technology. Instead of staring at our iPhone screens, we will be surrounded by simple and user-friendly objects that respond to our needs, come to know us, and learn to think on our behalf. How can you embed connectivity and productivity into your product? he asks. It’s time to revolutionize the way your company thinks about technology, design, and making money.
