00:00:00.835 --> 00:00:03.148
How many of your are creatives?

00:00:03.148 --> 00:00:06.796
Designers, engineers,
entrepreneurs, artists,

00:00:06.796 --> 00:00:09.207
or maybe you just have
a really big imagination.

00:00:09.207 --> 00:00:10.207
Show of hands?

00:00:10.207 --> 00:00:11.207
(Applause)

00:00:11.207 --> 00:00:12.813
That's most of you.

00:00:13.434 --> 00:00:15.728
I have some news for us creatives.

00:00:16.934 --> 00:00:21.571
Over the course of the next 20 years ...

00:00:21.571 --> 00:00:25.570
more will change around
the way we do our work

00:00:25.570 --> 00:00:28.254
than has happened in the last 2,000.

00:00:28.611 --> 00:00:33.239
In fact, I think we're at the dawn
of a new age in human history.

00:00:33.841 --> 00:00:38.602
Now, there have been four major historical
eras defined by the way we work.

00:00:39.504 --> 00:00:42.779
The Hunter-Gatherer Age
lasted several million years.

00:00:43.263 --> 00:00:46.839
And then the Agricultural Age
lasted several thousand years.

00:00:47.295 --> 00:00:50.809
The Industrial Age lasted
a couple of centuries,

00:00:50.809 --> 00:00:54.843
and now the Information Age
has lasted just a few decades.

00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:56.756
And now today,

00:00:56.756 --> 00:01:00.340
we're on the cusp of our next
great era as a species.

00:01:01.496 --> 00:01:03.969
Welcome to the Augemented Age.

00:01:04.199 --> 00:01:05.351
In this new era,

00:01:05.351 --> 00:01:09.199
your natural human capabilities are going
to be augmented by computational systems

00:01:09.199 --> 00:01:11.009
that help you think,

00:01:11.009 --> 00:01:13.175
robotic systems that help you make,

00:01:13.175 --> 00:01:14.891
and [a] digital nervous system

00:01:14.891 --> 00:01:19.214
that connects you to the world
fay beyond your natural senses.

00:01:19.530 --> 00:01:21.467
Let's start with cognitive augmentation.

00:01:21.467 --> 00:01:23.667
How many of you are augmented cyborgs?

00:01:24.333 --> 00:01:25.329
(Laughter)

00:01:26.905 --> 00:01:30.006
I would actually argue that we're
already augmented.

00:01:30.488 --> 00:01:32.016
Imagine you're at a party,

00:01:32.016 --> 00:01:35.491
and somebody asks you a question
that you don't know the answer to.

00:01:35.491 --> 00:01:36.940
If you have one of these,

00:01:36.940 --> 00:01:38.038
in a few seconds,

00:01:38.038 --> 00:01:39.644
you can know the answer.

00:01:39.951 --> 00:01:42.635
But this is just a primitive beginning.

00:01:42.938 --> 00:01:46.436
Even Siri is just a passive tool.

00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:50.186
In fact, for the last
three-and-a-half million years,

00:01:50.186 --> 00:01:53.633
the tools that we've had
have been completely passive.

00:01:54.403 --> 00:01:57.971
They do exactly what we tell them
and nothing more.

00:01:57.971 --> 00:02:01.462
Our very first tool only cut
where we struck it.

00:02:02.022 --> 00:02:05.284
The chisel only carves
where the artist points it.

00:02:05.543 --> 00:02:10.898
And even our most advanced tools
do nothing without our explicit direction.

00:02:11.208 --> 00:02:12.647
In fact, to date --

00:02:12.647 --> 00:02:14.672
and this is something
that frustrates me --

00:02:14.672 --> 00:02:15.933
we've always been limited

00:02:15.933 --> 00:02:19.215
by this need to manually
push our wills into our tools --

00:02:19.215 --> 00:02:20.230
like manual,

00:02:20.230 --> 00:02:21.715
like literally using our hands,

00:02:21.715 --> 00:02:23.277
even with computers.

00:02:24.272 --> 00:02:26.759
But I'm more like Scotty in "Star Trek."

00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:27.759
(Laughter)

00:02:28.584 --> 00:02:30.803
I want to have a conversation
with a computer.

00:02:30.803 --> 00:02:33.797
I want to say, "Computer,
let's design a car,"

00:02:33.797 --> 00:02:35.360
and the computer shows me a car.

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.992
And I say, "No, more fast-looking,
and less German,"

00:02:37.992 --> 00:02:40.156
and bang, the computer shows me an option.

00:02:40.156 --> 00:02:41.159
(Laughter)

00:02:42.408 --> 00:02:44.738
That conversation might be
a little ways off,

00:02:44.738 --> 00:02:47.290
it's actually probably less
than any of us think,

00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:49.300
but right now,

00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:50.307
we're working on it.

00:02:50.307 --> 00:02:54.340
Tools are making this leap from being
passive to being generative.

00:02:55.031 --> 00:02:58.363
Generative design tools
use a computer and algorithms

00:02:58.363 --> 00:03:00.995
to synthesize geometry

00:03:00.995 --> 00:03:03.749
to come up with new designs
all by themselves.

00:03:04.196 --> 00:03:06.968
All it needs are your goals
and your constraints.

00:03:06.968 --> 00:03:08.400
I'll give you an example.

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:11.212
In the case of this aerial drone chassis,

00:03:11.212 --> 00:03:13.593
all you would need to do
is tell it something like,

00:03:13.593 --> 00:03:15.083
it has four propellers,

00:03:15.083 --> 00:03:17.186
you want it to be
as lightweight as possible,

00:03:17.186 --> 00:03:19.421
and you need it to be
aerodynamically efficient.

00:03:19.421 --> 00:03:21.550
And then what the computer does

00:03:21.550 --> 00:03:24.546
is it explores the entire solution space:

00:03:24.546 --> 00:03:28.497
every single possibility that solves
and meets your criteria --

00:03:28.497 --> 00:03:29.844
millions of them.

00:03:29.844 --> 00:03:31.797
It takes big computers to do this,

00:03:31.797 --> 00:03:33.854
but it comes back to us with designs

00:03:33.854 --> 00:03:36.997
that we by ourselves
never could've imagined.

00:03:37.380 --> 00:03:40.143
And the computer's coming up
with this stuff all by itself,

00:03:40.143 --> 00:03:42.153
no one ever drew anything,

00:03:42.153 --> 00:03:44.532
and it started completely from scratch.

00:03:45.115 --> 00:03:46.135
And by the way,

00:03:46.135 --> 00:03:47.649
it's no accident

00:03:47.649 --> 00:03:51.130
that the drone body looks just like
the pelvis of a flying squirrel.

00:03:51.487 --> 00:03:52.612
(Laughter)

00:03:54.162 --> 00:03:58.314
It's because the algorithms are designed
to work the same way that evolution does.

00:03:58.915 --> 00:04:02.685
What's exciting is we're starting to see
this technology out in the real world.

00:04:02.685 --> 00:04:05.159
We've been working with Airbus
for a couple of years

00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.085
on this concept plane for the future.

00:04:07.085 --> 00:04:09.285
It's aways out still,

00:04:09.285 --> 00:04:13.018
but just recently we used
a generative design AI

00:04:13.018 --> 00:04:15.390
to come up with this.

00:04:15.809 --> 00:04:20.891
This is a 3D printed cabin partition
that's been designed by a computer.

00:04:20.891 --> 00:04:23.834
It's stronger than the original
yet half the weight,

00:04:23.834 --> 00:04:26.980
and it will be flying
in the Airbus A320 later this year.

00:04:27.498 --> 00:04:29.188
So computers can now generate.

00:04:29.188 --> 00:04:33.694
They can come up with their own solutions
to our well-defined problems.

00:04:34.815 --> 00:04:36.211
But they're not inutitive.

00:04:36.211 --> 00:04:39.321
They still have to start from scratch
every single time,

00:04:39.321 --> 00:04:42.568
and that's because they never learn ...

00:04:42.568 --> 00:04:44.358
unlike Maggie.

00:04:44.358 --> 00:04:45.364
(Laughter)

00:04:45.764 --> 00:04:49.118
Maggie's actually smarter than our
most advanced design tools.

00:04:49.522 --> 00:04:50.985
What do I mean by that?

00:04:50.985 --> 00:04:52.578
If her owner picks up that leash,

00:04:52.578 --> 00:04:54.624
Maggie knows with a fair
degree of certainty

00:04:54.624 --> 00:04:56.048
that it's time to for a walk.

00:04:56.265 --> 00:04:57.475
And how did she learn?

00:04:57.475 --> 00:04:59.703
Well, every time the owner
picked up the leash,

00:04:59.703 --> 00:05:00.715
they went for a walk.

00:05:00.715 --> 00:05:02.724
And Maggie did three things:

00:05:02.724 --> 00:05:04.617
she had to pay attention,

00:05:04.617 --> 00:05:06.723
she had to remember what happened

00:05:06.723 --> 00:05:11.157
and she had to retain and create
a pattern in her mind.

00:05:11.544 --> 00:05:12.634
Interestingly,

00:05:12.634 --> 00:05:16.094
that's exactly computer scientists
have been trying to get AIs to do

00:05:16.094 --> 00:05:18.056
for the last 60 or so years.

00:05:18.681 --> 00:05:20.256
Back in 1952,

00:05:20.256 --> 00:05:24.292
they built this computer
that could play Tic-Tac-Toe.

00:05:25.130 --> 00:05:26.290
Big deal.

00:05:26.931 --> 00:05:28.487
Then 45 years later,

00:05:28.487 --> 00:05:30.253
in 1997,

00:05:30.253 --> 00:05:33.332
Deep Blue beats Kasparov at Chess.

00:05:34.246 --> 00:05:39.031
2011, Watson beats these two
humans at Jeopardy,

00:05:39.031 --> 00:05:41.901
which is much harder for a computer
to play than Chess is.

00:05:42.190 --> 00:05:46.026
In fact, rather than working
from predefined recipes,

00:05:46.026 --> 00:05:49.349
Watson had to use reasoning
to overcome his human opponents.

00:05:50.438 --> 00:05:53.056
And then a couple of weeks ago,

00:05:53.056 --> 00:05:57.225
DeepMind's AlphaGo beats
the world's best human at Go,

00:05:57.225 --> 00:05:59.382
which is the most difficult
game that we have.

00:05:59.382 --> 00:06:00.379
In fact in Go,

00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:04.706
there are more possible moves
than there are atoms in the universe.

00:06:06.315 --> 00:06:08.260
So in order to win,

00:06:08.260 --> 00:06:11.210
what AlphaGo had to do
was develop intuition,

00:06:11.210 --> 00:06:12.273
and in fact,

00:06:12.273 --> 00:06:13.273
at some points,

00:06:13.273 --> 00:06:17.631
AlphaGo's programmers didn't understand
why AlphaGo was doing what it was doing.

00:06:19.527 --> 00:06:21.168
And things are moving really fast.

00:06:21.168 --> 00:06:22.286
I mean, consider --

00:06:22.286 --> 00:06:24.586
in the space of a human lifetime,

00:06:24.586 --> 00:06:28.120
computers have gone from a child's game

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.537
to what's recognized as the pinnacle
of strategic thought.

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.602
What's basically happening

00:06:34.602 --> 00:06:37.974
is computers are going
from being like Spock

00:06:37.974 --> 00:06:39.947
to being a lot more like Kirk.

00:06:39.947 --> 00:06:41.895
(Laughter)

00:06:43.526 --> 00:06:44.534
Right?

00:06:44.534 --> 00:06:47.111
From pure logic to intuition.

00:06:48.298 --> 00:06:50.373
Would you cross this bridge?

00:06:50.698 --> 00:06:51.810
Most of you are saying,

00:06:51.810 --> 00:06:53.156
"Oh, hell no."

00:06:53.156 --> 00:06:54.159
(Laughter)

00:06:54.488 --> 00:06:57.169
And you arrived at that decision
in a split second.

00:06:57.169 --> 00:06:59.518
You just sort of knew
that that bridge was unsafe.

00:06:59.518 --> 00:07:01.634
And that's exactly the kind of intuition

00:07:01.634 --> 00:07:05.202
that our deep learning systems
are starting to develop right now.

00:07:05.607 --> 00:07:06.607
Very soon,

00:07:06.607 --> 00:07:09.191
you'll literally be able
to show something you've made,

00:07:09.191 --> 00:07:10.194
you've designed,

00:07:10.194 --> 00:07:11.193
to a computer,

00:07:11.193 --> 00:07:12.670
and it will look at it and say,

00:07:12.670 --> 00:07:14.540
"Mm, sorry homey, that will never work,

00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:15.672
you have to try again."

00:07:16.078 --> 00:07:19.973
Or you could ask it if people
are going to like your next song,

00:07:19.973 --> 00:07:22.568
or your next flavor of ice cream.

00:07:23.607 --> 00:07:26.395
Or, much more importantly,

00:07:26.395 --> 00:07:30.290
you could work with a computer to solve
a problem that we've never faced before.

00:07:30.290 --> 00:07:31.648
For instance climate change.

00:07:31.648 --> 00:07:33.676
We're not doing a very
good job on our own,

00:07:33.676 --> 00:07:35.877
we could certainly use
all the help we can get.

00:07:36.048 --> 00:07:37.485
That's what I'm talking about:

00:07:37.485 --> 00:07:40.200
technology amplifying
our cognitive abilities

00:07:40.200 --> 00:07:41.866
so we can imagine and design things

00:07:41.866 --> 00:07:46.633
that were simply out of our reach
as plain old unaugmented humans.

00:07:48.137 --> 00:07:51.006
So, what about making
all of this crazy new stuff

00:07:51.006 --> 00:07:53.754
that we're going to invent and design?

00:07:54.152 --> 00:07:58.269
I think the era of human augmentation
is as much about the physical world

00:07:58.269 --> 00:08:01.743
as it is about the virtual,
intellectual realm.

00:08:02.033 --> 00:08:04.574
So how will technology augment us?

00:08:04.574 --> 00:08:05.768
In the physcial world,

00:08:05.768 --> 00:08:07.098
robotic systems.

00:08:07.820 --> 00:08:11.793
OK, there's certainly a fear that robots
are going to take jobs away from humans,

00:08:11.966 --> 00:08:14.202
and that is true in certain sectors.

00:08:14.456 --> 00:08:17.392
But I'm much more interested in this idea

00:08:17.537 --> 00:08:22.325
that humans and robots working together
are going to augment each other,

00:08:22.431 --> 00:08:24.343
and start to inhabit a new space.

00:08:24.549 --> 00:08:26.735
This is our applied
research lab in San Francisco,

00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.926
where one of our areas of focus
is advanced robotics,

00:08:30.073 --> 00:08:32.827
specifically human-robot collaboration.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And this is Bishop,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
one of our robots.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As an experiment,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we set it up to help a person working
in construction doing repetitive tasks.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Tasks like cutting out holes for outlets
or light switches in dry wall.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So Bishop's human partner can tell
what to do in plain English

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and simple gestures,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
kind of like talking to a dog.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then Bishop executes
on those instructions

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with perfect precision.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're using the human for what
the human is good at,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Awareness, perception and desicion making.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And we're using the robot
for what it's good at:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
precision and repetitiveness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here's another cool project
that Bishop worked on.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The goal of this project,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which we called, "The Hive,"

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
was the prototype the experience
of humans, computers and robots

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
all working together to solve
a highly complex design problem.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The humans acted as labor.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They cruised around the construction site,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they manipulated the bamboo --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which by the way,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because it's a non-icomorphic material,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is super hard for robots to deal with.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But then the robots
did this fiber winding,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which was almost impossible
for a human to do.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then we had an AI
that was controlling everything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was telling the humans what to do,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it was tell the robots what to do,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and keeping track of thousands
of individual components.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What's interesting is building
this pavillion was simply not possible

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
without human, robot and AI
augmenting each other.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
OK, I'll share one more project.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This one's a little bit crazy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're working with Amsterdam-based artist,
[Youris Marvin and his team at MX3D]

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to generatively design
and robotically print

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the world's first autonomously
manufactured bridge.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, Youris and an AI are designing
this thing right now, as we speak,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in Amsterdam.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And when we're done,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we're going to hit Go,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and robots will start 3D printing
in stainless steel,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then they're going to keep printing
without human intervention

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
until the bridge is finished.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So as computers are going
to augment our ability

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to imagine and design new stuff,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
robotic systems are going to help us

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
build and make things that we've
never been able to make before.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But what about our ability
to sense and control these things?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What about a nervous system
for the things that we make?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Our nervous system --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the human nervous system --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
tells everything that's
going on around us.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the nervous system of the things
we make is rudimentary at best.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For instance,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a car doesn't tell the city's
Public Works department

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that it just hit a pothole at the corner
of Broadway and Morrison;

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A building doesn't tell its designers

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
whether or not the people
inside like being there,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the toy manufacturer doesn't know
if a toy is actually being played with --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
how and where and whether
or not it's any fun.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Look, I'm sure that the designers
imagined this lifestyle for Barbie

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when they designed her --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
right?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But what if it turns out that Barbie's
actually really lonely?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If the designers had known what was
really happening in the real world

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with their designs --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the road, the building, the Barbie --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they could've used that knowledge

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to create an experience
that was better for the user.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What's missing is a nervous system

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
connecting us to all of the things
that we design, make and use.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What if all of you had that kind
of information flowing to you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from the things you create
in the real world?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
With all of the stuff we make,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we spend a tremendous amount
of money and energy --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in fact last year about
two trillion dollars --

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
convincing people to buy
the things that we've made.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But if you had this connection
to the things that you design and create,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
after they're out in the real world,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
after they've been sold,
or launched or whatever,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we could actually change that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and go from making people want our stuff,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to just making stuff that people want
in the first place.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The good news is we're working
on digital nervous systems

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that connect us to the things we design.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're working on one project
with a couple of guys down in Los Angeles

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
called the Bandito Brothers,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and their team,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and one of the things these guys do
is build insane cars

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that do absolutely insane things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These guys are crazy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Laughter)

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the best way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And what we're doing with them

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is taking a traditions racecar [Chassy],

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and giving it a nervous system.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So we instrumented it
with dozens of censors,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and then we put a world-class driver
behind the wheel,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
took it out to the desert

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and drove the hell out of it for a week.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the car's nervous system captured
everything that was happening to car.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We captured four billion data points.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All of the forces
that it was subjected to.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then we did something crazy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We took all of that data,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and plugged it into a generative
design AI that we call, "Dreamcatcher."

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So what do get when you give
a design tool a nervous system,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you ask it to build you
the ultimate car [chassy]?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You get this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is something that human
could never have designed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Except a human did design this,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but it was a human that was augmented
by a generative design AI,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a digital nervous system,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and robots that can actually
fabricate something like this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So if this is the future,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Augmented Age,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and we're going to be augemented
cognitively, physically and perceptually,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what will that look like?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What is this wonderland going to be like?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think we're going to see a world

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where we're moving from
things that are fabricated

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to things that are farmed.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Where we're moving from things
that are constructed

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to that which is grown.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're going to move from being isolated

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to being connected,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and we'll move away from extraction

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to embrace aggregation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I also think we'll shift from craving
obedience from our things

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to valuing autonomy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Thanks to our augmented capabilities,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
our world is going to change dramatically.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're going to have a world
with more variety,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
more connectedness,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
more dynamism,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
more complexity,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
more adaptability,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and of course,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
more beauty.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The shape of things to come

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
will be unlike anything
we've ever seen before.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Because what will be shaping those things

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is this new partnership between
technology, nature and humanity.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That to me is a future
well worth looking forward to.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Thank you all so much.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Applause)
