The need for purpose-driven innovation has certainly never been stronger. In this eye-opening talk, Shivvy reveals the breakthrough technologies that must be on your radar if you want to propel your work and business forward in this new digital economy.
Emotive AI, Tactile VR and ‘Empathics’ anyone? Top transformative tech
Shivvy reviews the top transformative technological advancements on the market and in the works, such as:
- Curating the most creative, realistic applications of digital tech that could transform how we do business and live our lives
- Emotionally intelligent forms of AI such as socially assistive robots offering practical support and 'digital human’ chatbots as customer service
- The next wave of wearables, known as “empathetics” that will know you're stressed or ill well before you even do
