[NPM Voice Talent] This message comes from NPR sponsor Deloitte. Chief Futurist Mike Bechtel led the research behind the 2023 Tech Trends report, which explores the impact of emerging technologies on innovation and key business areas. [Mike] Per our tech trends research over the last 14 years, we’ve identified three enduring forces around which many meaningful innovations have clustered. The first interaction: how we connect with, how we experience technology. The second information: how we turn raw data into insights that are useful and actionable. And then third computation: how we do the raw brass tacks number crunching that can power that information and insight. What a reader stands to get from tech trends is an understanding of the difference between talk and walk; practical, tactical examples of emerging technologies in play today.

[NPM Voice Talent] This message comes from NPR sponsor Deloitte. In their 2023 Tech Trends report, Chief Futurist Mike Bechtel found that to successfully adopt AI, businesses need to be transparent and collaborate with their employees. [Mike] Five years ago the question was: to use AI or not? A couple years ago: which AI to use? Well, today the real focus is on visibility and transparency into our new AI colleagues. We talked with a large American airline that had a team working 10 p.m. till 2 a.m. every night assigning planes to gates at airports. Rather than foist an A.I. on that team, they worked with the team to co-create an automated alternative to their overnight shift work. People support what they help create. They had the opportunity now to focus on uniquely human problems like weather delays and gate optimization. And best of all, during the day.

[NPM Voice Talent] This message comes from NPR sponsor Deloitte, whose Health Equity Institute works to provide insights on health and healthcare access across the US. Executive Director Dr. Jay Bhatt shares the motivation behind the Institute’s founding. [Jay] The Deloitte Health Equity Institute is really launched in recognition that social and environmental events of the last several years shined a spotlight on health inequities that have existed in society for far too long. And so we recognized that we had a unique obligation and a role to play in addressing these pervasive inequities, along with data and analytics capabilities and assets. And we want to help the organizations we work with, both in the government and public sector as well as in the private sector, make meaningful change on health equity. Because affordability of healthcare, access to medications and treatment have inequities, and we’ve got to try to work to fix that.

[NPM Voice Talent] This message comes from NPR sponsor Deloitte, who recently published a report on strategies for businesses implementing artificial intelligence. Deloitte AI Leader Nitin Mittal shares a key finding. [Nitin] What the survey found is that the key aspect of embracing AI strategically is to think of it as a philosophy that needs to be literally embedded in everything that a business does. It’s not just a technology implemented on the side. It’s not just an experiment in the periphery. An organization needs to break out of that mold and think of adopting and implementing AI at scale. It essentially kind of fuels every application, every interaction, every process, and every experience that an organization wants to create.

[NPM Voice Talent] This message comes from NPR sponsor Deloitte. When it comes to implementing artificial intelligence at scale, Deloitte AI Leader Nitin Mittal says company culture plays an important role. [Nitin] There are many important aspects of organizations who are culturally ready to embrace AI at scale. One of it is the readiness within that organization to embrace change, particularly when it comes to what the new hybrid would look like over the next decade. We believe you are going to have all kinds of intelligent machines that are going to proliferate within your organization, whether they are manifested in the form of industrial robots or smart applications and smart software. And that needs to be thought of from a cultural dimension so that the concept of humans with machines becomes part of the DNA that an organization needs to build.

Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Leader Erica Volini explains how organizations can help empower their workforce: [Erica] The ability to focus on human capital is about tapping into their potential, building their resilience for the future, investing in them, giving them the opportunity and the empowerment to shift the way that they work so that they can really bring their best to the organization.

[NPM Voice Talent] Support for NPR and the following message come from Deloitte. Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Leader Erica Volini believes organizations should focus on their people when planning for the future: [Erica] If we craft work and organizations based on how technology and machines work, we are missing something very essential, which is what humans have: the ability to pivot, to make quick decisions, to innovate, to be creative, to connect dots that wouldn’t have otherwise been connected.

[NPM Voice Talent] Support for NPR and the following message come from Deloitte. Global Human Capital Leader Erica Volini shares how their most recent findings reveal a shift in how organizations are starting to re-imagine the future of work: [Erica] Before the pandemic, only 29% of executives said they were focused on work re imagination. The majority were really focused on work optimization. In the 10 months of the pandemic, that 29% jumped to 61%. And I think what that really emphasizes is that executives are now saying, “Let’s really challenge what we’re doing and how we’re doing it.” And when I think about the impact on human capital, this is where I really see worker empowerment and the opportunity that’s ahead for workers, because in a world where the majority of executives are saying, let’s reimagine work, that is a tremendous opportunity for workers to step in and say, “this is how I think work should get done,” in ways that support not only their career aspirations, but their personal lives.
