QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE:
Deidre Diamond, Founder & CEO CyberSN & Brainbabe.org, Boston, MA
I would like to know what you think about how to change our work cultures so that these girls who are becoming coders actually enjoy their work. Statistics are showing women are leaving tech :(
Jaymie Cutaia, Founder & CEO Jaymie Scotto & Associates, Los Angeles, CA
What do you see as the role of the telecom service provider in 2030?
Vadim Makhlis, President of Monadnock Ford in Keene, NH and Performance Dealer Products New England
Are local and foreign governments prepared for the massive investment in the upgraded infrastructure such as "smart signs" and "smart traffic lights" that may be necessary in order to ensure the safety of passengers and pedestrians in a fully driverless environment? Or do you feel that such an investment may not be necessary at all?"
Dr. Louise Schaper, CEO HISA - Australia's Digital Health Society, Melbourne, Australia
Unemployment is predicted by those who claim that a massive wave of automation will take up to a third — perhaps more — of jobs in western economies away. This unemployment will no longer be confined to factory floors, but will include consuming service jobs, from your Uber driver, your radiologist, your lawyer — AI and algorithms will replace humans and lead to a new era of widespread unemployment.
My question is, is it likely these impending changes will impact women differently to men, in terms of both economic growth and economic empowerment of women?
Liz Zalman, CEO strongDM, New York City
Someone mentioned to me a few months ago that the way autonomous cars would end up becoming the way to drive was via the insurance companies. That once those cars became safer than human drivers (not too far off), the companies would say, ‘oh, how cute little human, you want to drive? That will cost you 900K/year in your policy’. Thoughts on that?
Ken Herron, CMO Unified Inbox, Orlando, FL
Hi Sudha. We know a lot of different pieces have come together to make autonomous vehicles happen. From your perspective, what’s still missing? Do you think the “final piece” triggering mass adoption will be technical, regulatory, or something else?
Mark Richards, Reverse Mortgage Planner, Fairway Independent Mortgage, Ridgewood, NJ
Who do you look up to in the IoT world?
Also, were you supported by your family and friends when getting into the tech world?
Irma Rastegayeva, CoFounder eViRa, Boston, MA
I am interested in your predictions about IoT and AI applications in Health space over the next 12-24 months.
Also, I'd like to hear about your views on applications of autonomous vehicles in medicine. I've seen some futuristic renderings of the mobile hospital, etc. - what can we expect in the next 5 years?
