Video: “The Future of Infrastructure”

Here’s what we know about the future of infrastructure.

• the era of carbon is over, and we are building a massive distributed, connected energy hyper grid based on renewables, with new demand drivers involving electric vehicles and new inputs coming from the continued cost decrease of renewables
• we will continue to see significant investment in new telecom and communications infrastructure as a result of increased content generation, combined with new distribution platforms such as the growth of low-earth-orbit satellite technology and
• healthcare is shifting, as we will see significant new spending with the accelerated visualization of hospitals and care
• construction is changing with the arrival of new material science, combined with accelerated methodologies, robotics and AI, fundamentally changing how we ‘build’ things

An event I did yesterday on the topic – the entire 30-minute video.

You’ll notice by watching, of course, that for this event, I had my friend Briana interview me throughout. She’s another version of the AI-generated avatar that I am increasingly integrating into my work. It’s all a part of the idea that you can’t talk about a trend – in this case, AI – without working with as many different aspects of the trend as you can. I’ll be taking her on stage with me at an in-person event next week in Quebec City.
