Future Today Strategy Group, Amy Webb. We're going to see a massive number of convergences where

the technologies that are evolving, they're going to stop evolving independently and actually

start evolving each other. And whether that's artificial intelligence

in biology or physical artificial intelligence and robotics or energy and computation,

we're going to start to see a lot of change happening faster than I think we're prepared for.

And those convergences are going to rewrite our

value change. They're going to change the timelines for how things get developed. They will certainly

challenge regulation. They will lead to new opportunity. They will lead to new risk. They will

lead to a lot of new questions. We're all going to have to answer. So on this idea of convergence, I think one that we have already started to see is the

convergence of AI and the internet. And you note that we'll see probably a stronger emergence
