What do futurists see on the horizon? A world where imagination and innovation converge to create tomorrow's reality.
In this episode of the Greenbook Podcast, we sit down with Ari Popper, the founder and CEO of SciFutures, to explore the intriguing intersection of science fiction and corporate innovation. Popper delves into the unique approach of SciFutures, which collaborates with science fiction writers to craft compelling future scenarios that help the world's largest companies envision and build their preferred futures. Through stories of transformative projects, such as revolutionizing home improvement with Lowe's and pioneering the future of mood and emotion measurement, Popper illustrates the power of storytelling in sparking real-world innovation. The conversation also navigates the ethical landscapes of emerging technologies, the societal implications of AI, and synthetic consumers, highlighting Popper's hopeful vision for a future where technology enhances humanity's best qualities.
