On the verge of the superhuman revolution and the exponential age, artificial intelligence might become the next step in human evolution. Xerxes describes with the convergence of AI, IoT, Big Data and Blockchain we create the first intelligent autonomous technological organisms and poses the question which rules we want to program into the AI as its development is beyond our matrix. He believes that blockchain becomes the framework for a post-capitalistic, purpose-driven, token-based economic system and that is up to every single one of us to participate in this existential revolution. In this TEDxTalk, Xerxes shares his story of being born during the Iranian Revolution and urges you to rethink paradigms and reimagine a better and ethical future of technology, leadership, and humanity. Originally Persian, Xerxes has an interdisciplinary background in social sciences, eastern and western psychology, as well as strategy development. As an ambassador of ethical and sustainable future technology, he connects diverse people, ideas and thought schools to enable new perspectives. He inspires people to rethink, reimagine and reinvent.
