Debbie and Sharon at the University of Greenwich in London invited Matthew to keynote the university's inaugural student get together, where he and speakers from around the world shared their views on the future and the technologies and trends shaping it.
In a keynote he titled Limitless, Matthew showed the university's undergraduates why they are the most powerful versions of themselves that have ever lived, and how they have the potential to change the world at unfathomable speed and cost. He also set out the upside of extreme AI automation, the other side of the AI coin that the negative news cycle rarely covers.
"What would you do if you had access to all the world's knowledge, all the world's skills, and the ability to bring your imagination, whatever it is, to life?"Matthew Griffin, London, May 2023
His argument was that an interconnected world and powerful technologies are giving people new abilities and helping everyone unlock their own unlimited potential. Against that backdrop he asked the students three questions no one had likely asked them before: what would you do with access to all the world's knowledge, all the world's skills, and the ability to bring your imagination, whatever it is, to life?
The students left with those questions, and with the challenge of working out what this opportunity means for them and how they will live their lives in the future.
