The Future History of Trust

What if, instead of trying to predict the future, we could just pick the one we want – and then build it?

Elaborating on key lessons from his most recent book, “A Brief History of a Perfect Future: Inventing the world we can proudly leave our kids by 2050,” Chunka Mui will explore how we can collectively take advantage of rapidly advancing science, technology, data, and human ingenuity to build a much more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous world - starting now! 

In particular, he will explore the future history of trust. Surely, that history will include data integrity and security, which lies at the heart of trusting the information platforms and infrastructure that enable every aspect of commerce and society. Trust will also require other key qualities, such as privacy, governance, authentication, and truth. How might you and your organization shape the future? Your answers to this question might well transform your industry, your organization, your career—and the world!
