Description
Emerging tech trends such as AI, bots, livestreaming, deepfake videos, influencer/creator culture, and the “internet of things” are changing the world we live in. Tik Tok already has 500 million users, over half as many as Instagram. This session can help you understand what’s coming next by providing a high-level overview of emerging tech trends. We’ll examine thoughts on what’s relevant for nonprofit organizations and how you can navigate or even take advantage of coming innovations to propel your organization’s mission.
We’ll discuss how trends will affect our ability to connect and communicate, and how they’ll impact causes and campaigns. We’ll dispel myths and incorrect theories about emerging tech and tell you what you need to know to begin recalibrating in advance of the next tech wave.
