Investing in Cutting-Edge Technologies and Jobs of the Future
Jim Whitehurst, Doug Merritt, Peggy Johnson, Ravi Kumar, Chris Liddell
Leading technology executives and government officials convened to analyze the exponential acceleration of innovation driven by hybrid cloud, AI, and massive data generation, which is rendering Moore's Law obsolete. The discussion highlighted a simultaneous workforce transformation where digital displacement necessitates a shift toward lifelong learning, "new collar" roles valuing creative problem-finding over coding, and public-private strategies to retrain employees. Experts concluded that maintaining societal stability and shared prosperity requires urgent policy reforms in education, immigration, and infrastructure to support a human-machine ecosystem while mitigating the risks of populist backlash.

To Infinity and Beyond: What's Cool in Transportation
Alan Ohnsman, Peggy Johnson, James Kuffner, Lior Ron, Kyle Vogt, Richard Wallace
Industry leaders project the widespread deployment of Level 4 autonomous ride-share fleets in major urban centers by 2021, prioritizing constrained environments over universal Level 5 capability to ensure technical reliability. This transition drives a shift toward Mobility as a Service, where companies like Uber and Cruise aim to replace private vehicle ownership with high-utilization shared fleets while infrastructure providers like Microsoft leverage cloud computing to monetize in-car time. Beyond operational changes, the technology promises significant societal benefits including reduced traffic fatalities and repurposed urban land, even as it necessitates navigating a fragmented regulatory landscape and evolving labor markets.
