Our Managing Director Una Softic was recently a guest on a podcast by Jarno Duursma, TEDx speaker, creator of the ‘Listening to the future’ podcast, founder of tech event SMC050, and an author of four management books on digital technology. In his podcast, he reflects on the current and future impact of digital technology with optimism and a suitably critical eye. And with an eye for the human interest.
As part of her secondment role with our client Soul Machines, Una discussed her role as VP Japan in this pioneering company creating digital humans. Through a conversation with Jarno, she answered some of the following questions:
What is a digital human? Why would anyone need one at any given point in time? What are the most common use cases for the digital human? How autonomously can the digital humans have a conversation? What moral questions does this technological development raise? Which jobs are digital humans going to take over from us?
Tune in and listen to the conversation:
