It's a fact that ChatGPT and other generative AI tools are replacing some jobs and reducing human involvement in others. Predicting the future is difficult, but large generative AI models are here to stay, and people will likely increasingly rely on them for information. For instance, if a student needs help solving a math problem, they can ask a tutor or a friend or consult a textbook, but they may turn to a chatbot in the future. The same goes for other fields, such as legal advice or medical expertise. What does this mean for work, education, and life? When humans discovered fire, they had a tool with significant potential for harm and benefit. They had to learn to harness fire for human advancement and protect against its adverse effects, just like with generative AI. This lecture will explain generative AI, where it will be used, and how it will impact our future lives.
Metaverse is a futuristic concept combining various technologies, including computer infrastructure, gaming, NFTs, DeFi, AR/VR, and the spatial web. More than 600 companies are building Metaverses, estimated to be a US$13 trillion market opportunity by 2030. There is yet to be a consensus on what it is. It will be immersive and persistent, combining virtual and physical worlds with an economy and value that can be earned, lent, borrowed, and extracted from the physical world. Some challenges remain, including interoperability, latency, user interface, and regulation. However, this is arguably one of the most exciting technological developments which will help create new and enhanced ways to live, shop, be entertained, seek services, and be educated. This lecture will explore our future life in the Metaverse, including travel and tourism, health care, and education.

Since 2009, Bitcoin has been capturing the world's attention and growing in popularity. It has been the highest-performing asset class in the last decade. However, what exactly is it? How does it function? What are its use cases? What is Decentralized Finance (DeFi) which grew from $700 million at the start of 2020 to $15 billion by the end of 2020, and as of June 2022, the total value locked reached a high of $256 billion. What explains this incredible increase? DeFi offers a viable alternative to the current financial system, and the lecture outlines its tremendous growth in borrowing, lending, yield farming, and insurance.
