What was your motivation? Was there an itch you just couldn't scratch? Does the world need another tech conference? Byron Reese: Gigaom Change is something entirely new and different. There isn't another conference quite like it. It is based on the idea that a series of technologies are all converging on us at the same time, and they promise to a cataclysmic impact on the world.  The seven technologies we will be looking at are artificial intelligence, virtual reality/augmented reality, robotics, human-machine interfaces, nanotechnology, cybersecurity, and 3D printing. I have noticed that business leaders everywhere are having trouble keeping up with these technologies.  Everyone knows the high-level basic concepts, but this growing complexity is strangling corporate foresight and slowing business productivity. If you think about it, it is no surprise that these technologies are so overwhelming. Humanity has only faced real change three times in the past: When we got speech 100,000 years ago, when we developed agriculture 10,000 years ago, and when we invented writing 5000 years ago. We are literally going to witness the fourth major change, when our technologies upend our society and its institutions.  Business leaders need to understand how to use these new technologies.

Virtual Reality Virtual Reality And A Parallel Universe Of Cyberclones   One of the biggest technology trends of 2015 was virtual reality (VR), from Oculus Rift to Google's cardboard headsets. TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2015 saw a lot of VR experiences where users could wear headsets and navigate an immersive 3D world. In Las Vegas, CES demonstrated a range of new gadgets and gaming experiences involving both VR and AR (augmented reality, e.g., Magic Leap). It is exciting to predict which killer app incorporating these technologies might become the next unicorn in 2016. But perhaps it is equally worthwhile to pause for a moment and ponder the implication of these technologies in the physical world, both in the near and distant future.

Isn't it revolutionary idea for Internet Security? Cyber security is a major challenge in today's world, as government agencies, corporations and individuals have increasingly become victims of cyber attacks that are so rapidly finding new ways to threaten the Internet that it's hard for good guys to keep up with them. A group of researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are working with machine-learning startup PatternEx to develop a line of defense against such cyber threats. The team has already developed an Artificial Intelligence system that can detect 85 percent of attacks by reviewing data from more than 3.6 Billion lines of log files each day and informs anything suspicious. The new system does not just rely on the artificial intelligence (AI), but also on human input, which researchers call Analyst Intuition (AI), which is why it has been given the name of Artificial Intelligence Squared or AI2.  Find more information at The Hacker News.  Cybersecurity Tech trends 2016: Cybersecurity in the connected world This year, cybersecurity will be the main issue vexing global business, firms say Allowing customers' data to be stolen by hackers is not good for business, firms are finally realising. It damages corporate reputations and erodes the public's "comfort with sharing their data", says Rashmi Knowles of cybersecurity company RSA. But the worrying news is that breaches are inevitable, warns Geoff Smith of Experis, while a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals is likely to push up the costs of beefing up defences and dealing with attacks. On top of this, new European data protection laws coming into effect in 2018 will see a "dramatic increase in fines" for data breaches, says James Mullock of law firm Bird and Bird, forcing firms to reassess their compliance procedures this year. Dedicated Data Protection Officers reporting to the board would be "a sensible measure", he says. Continue reading at BBC. Robotics This 3D Printer Makes Robots That Can Walk Away as Soon as They're Done Bringing the world one step closer to having real-life replicators like Star Trek promised, researchers at MIT's CSAIL lab have developed a new 3D printing technique that allows fully-functional robots to be created in a single print run. Add a motor and battery, and they're able to walk right out of the 3D printer. Typically, building something complex and animated with a 3D printer requires multiple print runs for all the various parts that then need to be assembled afterwards. The process is time consuming and about as far as one can get from a replicator that makes a mug full of piping hot Early Grey tea appear out of nowhere for Captain Picard to enjoy.

In April I was asked to speak at the annual TED conference in Vancouver (following Bill Gates...gulp) on the topic of 3D printing production and its implications. I have detailed my thoughts on why the shift to 3D printing production is not only likely but inevitable in articles one, two and three in this series for Forbes. Now, let's take a step into a fascinating future, where daily life will be shaped by several powerful forces directly related to 3D printing production. What it will be like to live in a 3D-printed world? Imagine the effect of these five trends... Read the full interview at Forbes. Nanotechnology
