The world is experiencing an unprecedented rate of technological and societal change, which a senior executive has described as “the most extraordinary time ever to be alive.”
In an exclusive interview with Arab News at the 8th Future Investment Initiative summit in Riyadh, Peter Diamandis, executive chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation and board member of the FII, highlighted that this acceleration, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and space exploration, is creating unique opportunities.
Diamandis said: “The speed of change is accelerating, and there’s not enough conversation taking place on where things are going, how fast they’re getting there, and how do we shape it, and how do we steer it.”
He expressed his belief that we have the potential to uplift every individual on the planet and to foster a hopeful, abundant future for humanity. “That’s my mission,” he added.
However, he cautioned that discussions about the direction of these advancements and their implications for humanity are lacking.
