  • Andra Keay on the New Rules for Life with Autonomous Machines
    In this conversation, Gary A. Bolles and Andra Keay explore the evolution of robotics, its impact on society, and the future of work. They discuss the early influences that shaped Andra's career, the growth of robotics in Silicon Valley, and the ethical considerations surrounding the development of robots. The conversation also touches on the potential futures of robotics, including its integration into daily life and agriculture, the dynamics of job displacement, and the importance of establishing guardrails for responsible robotics development.TakeawaysRobots can be seen as the closest things to aliens.The integration of robots into society requires ethical considerations.Investment in robotics has significantly increased since 2015.Robotics 2.0 represents a shift towards more autonomous and mobile robots.Humanoid robots may not be necessary for all applications.Automation can lead to new job creation rather than job loss.Guardrails are essential for the safe deployment of robots.Community engagement is crucial in the development of robotics.The future of work will be more human-centric with the aid of robots.Redefining work in an automated world presents new opportunities.

  • Kyle Hermans on The Power of Purpose in an Exponential World
    In this insightful episode, host Gary A. Bolles welcomes Kyle Hermans, Singularity University's Fellow for Purpose and CEO of Be Courageous. They dive deep into the concept of purpose in a world of exponential change, marked by "great resets" like the global pandemic and the "AI tsunami". Kyle, who has conducted over 2,500 sessions with leaders globally, shares his unique journey, starting from his curious youth in apartheid South Africa. Driven by a "five whys mentality" and a vast imagination, his non-linear career arc was always shaped by profound questions. A pivotal "lightning bolt" moment revealed his life's purpose: that "creativity is courage," leading him to help others choose between building their lives through fear or courage. Kyle emphasizes that deep purpose often emerges from "conflicted places" and "very hard struggles," not just ideal circumstances. His process for finding purpose involves reflecting on life's highs and lows to find meaning and gain "agency".The conversation extends to organizational purpose in an era of constant disruption. Kyle asserts that many modern disruptions are a "failure of imagination," as humans fail to anticipate possibilities. He highlights how "modern tools" like AI are increasingly accessible, enabling rapid adoption of new solutions and challenging fundamental societal beliefs. For organizations, the future is a "blank canvas," necessitating big, different thinking anchored in purpose. Kyle offers practical examples for cultivating purpose, such as Patagonia's practice of starting meetings by asking, "How did we serve and impact the earth today?" or placing an "empty customer chair" at the table.A significant focus is placed on generational differences in the workforce. Kyle notes that younger generations are "wide for different things," with meaning and purpose often ranking higher than traditional career incentives or money. They seek organizations that "stand for something" and offer psychologically safe environments where their voices are heard and creativity embraced.Regarding AI and purpose, Kyle's company integrates AI as a "team member" named FID (short for Infinity). While AI excels at synthesizing information and articulating ideas, Kyle currently observes its limitation in generating novel, profound "why" reasoning about things that don't yet exist. He raises a fascinating question: What if we started "programming" AI with a sense of purpose beyond just functional tasks?. Looking to the future (2045-2050), Kyle believes the only constants will be "love and courage," as humans, intrinsically wired for fear, will continually need courage to navigate relentless change.For listeners seeking to explore their own purpose, Kyle offers a free resource on his website, including a 10-minute video and downloadable toolkit. https://bcrgs.com/

  • Jaya Baloo on the Future of Cyber Threats and Human Trust
    My guest today is Jay Baloo, who is Singularity University's fellow for computing and cybersecurity. In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on what “lawful surveillance” really means… how quantum computing could break the encryption we all rely on… and why the biggest vulnerability might not be technological… but human.Because when it comes to cybersecurity, it’s not just the algorithms that matter. It’s our willingness  or unwillingness to change.Jaya helps us understand what’s coming and what leaders, policymakers, and everyday users can do right now to prepare. We cover deepfakes, digital trust, AI-assisted attacks, and the steps we can all take to defend our future.Whether you’re a technologist, an executive, or just someone trying to keep your data safe, this episode will challenge the way you think about digital security and remind you why our future resilience depends as much on people as it does on code.Jaya has been in the cybersecurity realm for two decades, widely acknowledged as one of the top 100 Chief Information Security Officers, or CISOs. She was a CISO for KPN Telecom, a vast Chief Security Officer for Rapid7. She's been a COO now for a stealth mode AI and cybersecurity startup. So interested to hear if there's any hints we can get about that.Just previously, the vice chair of the EU Commission's Quantum Flagship Strategic Advisory Board, which was a $1 billion effort to understand the key opportunities and challenges of our quantum future. Interested to hear more about that. And there's Internet Security Trainer for Bankers Trust, Technical Security Specialist for Trans Telecom, and a practice lead for Lawful Interception for Verizon. https://www.su.org/experts/jaya-baloo https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaya-baloo-558492/

Acerca de Possible Futures Podcast

We're living through a moment of unprecedented technological possibility, yet most people only hear about one version of the future—usually the most dramatic or profitable one. AI will replace all jobs. Biotech will solve everything. Space is our escape plan. But these singular narratives obscure the reality: we have choices, and those choices will determine which future we actually get. Each episode of Possible Futures explores the lesser-known possibilities and alternative pathways that exist beyond the usual. Hosted by Singularity Fellow: Gary Bolles
