**“We no longer use the word Digital, everything is digital by default!” – Greg Williams**

Experienced moderator, **[Greg Williams](https://londonspeakerbureau.com/speaker-profile/greg-williams.md)** has interviewed some of the most prominent CEO’s and pioneers in the world. The Editor of WIRED provides corporations and governments with a fresh and informed perspective on some of the most critical forces shaping our future, from breakthrough innovations to the ethical and geopolitical implications of emerging technologies.

With the world becoming more reliant on technology, spotting emerging trends is more important than ever. Throughout his career, **Greg Williams** has had a front row seat to some of the biggest developments in technology, science, culture.

During this interview, Greg explores what excites him as well as scares him most about AI. With his finger on the pulse, he shares some of the latest developments around AI and its growing sphere of influence. How is technology shaping geopolitics, and how is geopolitics shaping technology? How will the role of journalism change?

Greg discusses ethics, regulation, the major power and influence Tech companies have. Currently we are seeing “US Technology companies are the most powerful companies that have ever existed.” These organisations are not just shaping the business world but influencing everything.
