The speaker discusses the future and how it will be better than you think. He discusses how technology will not solve social, cultural, political, and human problems, but will make them worse. He also discusses how artificial intelligence will change many industries, and how government will be greatly benefited by its use.

• 00:00:00 The future is better than you think, and the next decade is a golden era for change. Business as usual is dead, or dying, and the future belongs to those that can collaborate the best. Technology can be a fantastic tool, but if we use it too much it can also be a tough emperor.
• 00:05:00 The speaker discusses how the future is better than you think, citing exponential opportunities and technologies such as digital currencies, digital healthcare, and solar energy. He argues that we have all the tools and science we need to make the right decisions, and that the future is still good despite some challenges.
• 00:10:00 The speaker discusses the future and how it will be better than you think. He discusses how technology will not solve social, cultural, political, and human problems, but will make them worse. He also discusses how artificial intelligence will change many industries, and how government will be greatly benefited by its use.
• 00:15:00 In the video, Mick Jagger is shown dancing with a 600-kilo robot, which demonstrates how technology has progressed in the last 10 years. The video then discusses the dangers of technology being used without regard for human values, and how government should play a role in negotiating between science and humanity.
• 00:20:00 In his keynote at WGS2022, Dr. Eric Schmidt outlined the many huge consequences of how we can do things differently and the challenge of adapting to a future that is both present and potentially catastrophic. He highlighted the need for leaders to have a "future mindset" in order to understand what is best for the collective, and outlined the many areas in which technology is changing and will continue to change in the coming years. Dr. Schmidt also warned of the looming risks of automation, environmental degradation, and social unrest.
• 00:25:00 The speaker predicts that in the near future we will see a shift from profit and growth to purpose, planet, and prosperity. He points to examples of this transition in the present, such as the discussion of copyright laws and the pandora's box analogy of the pharma industry.
• 00:30:00 The speaker suggests that in the future, which is characterized by a paradigm of purpose, we will move away from ego-driven systems and towards a world where humans are the masters of their own destiny. He also predicts that education will become more focused on deep knowledge, understanding, and creativity, instead of data and information.
• 00:35:00 The speaker discusses the importance of understanding the future, and how to pursue a mindset that leads to a better future. He encourages attendees to attend WGS2022 to hear his keynote, and to pay attention to the future.
