I spent decades innovating and creating the very technologies that now control us. I created video games that adapted to players' skill levels to increase addictive engagement and advertising platforms that both big business and politicians could use to influence the outcomes of future events.

For all the changes I’ve experienced with technology in my lifetime, I think the biggest changes are coming over the next decade with artificial intelligence and Robotics disrupting millions of lives. How we work, live, love and play is all going to be irrevocably altered. At the same time, technology is our only hope for solving climate change, food inequality, and a myriad of other social issues.
