Comment on "global chaos' - March 2025 

As a Futurist who has worked with over 400 of the world's largest corporations, as well as advising many governments, I have successfully forecast a huge range of global trends over the last 30 years.

Described in many of my 18 books including Futurewise, The Future of Almost Everything, SustainAgility and most recently How AI Will Change Your Life. See also this website.

Our world is undergoing a major convulsion created by geopolitical threats, autocratic leaders and massive tehno-changes such as AI. What does this mean for the future?

Here are my key messages for leaders of companies and governments.  You may be the largest bank in the world, an AI giant or on oil company - the same factors apply.

Reality Check - Megatrends will continue to drive global growth

It's vital to keep a sense of perspective in times of chaos – to keep focussed on the larger picture.

Our planet continues to turn, day in, day out - and lives of almost all ordinary people continue to change relatively slowly.

Despite the frenzy of media news-feeds, the TRUTH is that our world will continue to be driven by macro-forces which are far more powerful than any government.

Examples include:

  • Innovation and techno-revolutions such as AI
  • Demographic changes – population growth, better health and ageing
  • Wealth contrasts across regions – driving mass migrations 
  • Rapid growth in power and influence of emerging markets
  • Global race towards a more ‘sustainable’ future

How to give world-class presentations. Keys to great keynotes. How to communicate better and win audiences over. Expert coaching for CEOs, Executives, keynote speakers – via Zoom or face to face

Leadership, Strategy, Business Ethics - Keynotes

Giving an important presentation?  Need tips on your next keynote?  Preparing a lecture / keynote is often one of the most stressful things any senior executive has to do, whether for a team meeting, staff conference or client event.  

PERSUADE YOUR AUDIENCE

What’s the point of a great idea if you can’t persuade an audience?

Being able to present effectively to an audience is a Number One business skill yet most people can’t do it.  Here are simple steps for keynote success.

Get your keynote right, and your reputation will soar – you may even win promotion. Get your keynote wrong in an important event – and your career in that company will soon be over.

I am a professional keynote speaker, a Futurist author of 18 books – ranging from "How AI Will Change Your Life" to "The Future of (Almost) Everything".  

Several million people have heard me speak at major corporate events - over 800,000 people during a single webinar for example. I really enjoy being on large platforms, and I get a huge buzz out of engaging audiences from every nation and industry.

I often share the platform with CEOs of the largest corporations in the world, and I have been ranked in the past as one of the 20 most influential business thinkers in the world.   I have coached many senior business leaders on public speaking, right up to CEOs of really large companies ($2bn a year or more turnover).

 

Future of the Auto Industry: Why Our World Needs Low Cost Chinese e-vehicles. Impact of China electric cars on US and EU auto industry. Sustainability and GreenTech innovation keynote speaker

Future Travel Keynote Speaker:Auto, Rail, Aviation

We've seen huge media headlines in US and EU about "dumping" of low cost e-vehicles by China at ridiculously low prices, and fears for traditional car makers, but the bigger picture really matters.

We've also seen a range of wild predictions about the future of e-vehicles ranging from collapse of the global market, to destruction of traditional car makers, to AI / robots taking over all auto manufacturing.  

I have advised / worked with many of the world's largest car manufacturers over the years.  

I have a long and successful track record in identifying global trends.  So then, here is the awkward truth about the future of the auto industry: 

  • Major trade barriers against e-vehicle imports will fail
  • E-vehicles are very easy to make
  • Battery costs will fall rapidly
  • Mass sales will drive e-vehicle costs lower 
  • Targets for carbon emissions mean our world needs 2 billion e-vehicles
  • China, India and other emerging nations likely to dominate global auto industry in 10-15 years
So how should major auto manufacturers respond in US and EU? ....

'We're on the edge of really very exciting things, but also tremendous risks at the same time.' Patrick Dixon, Futurist author and AI keynote speaker in conversation with Alison Jones - Extraordinary Business Book Club - about his latest book "How AI Will Change Your Life".

Whether you're an AI enthusiast or it fills you with existential terror, this conversation will challenge your perspectives and elevate your understanding of our increasingly super-smart world. Futurist Patrick Dixon has been predicting AI for 25 years, and now he works with the world's largest corporations and governments, helping them explore the profound implications of artificial intelligence across all sectors from medicine to marketing to global security. This is not comfortable listening. We peer into the chasm (did you know that in a recent study, half of AI researchers perceive a 5% risk of AI leading to human extinction?). But Patrick remains an optimist, albeit a worried one, and hopefully you'll feel the same way at the end.  One great cause for hope is his insistence on the importance of authenticity in writing, the irreplaceable human connection that readers seek; AI-generated content cannot replicate human passion. A thought-provoking conversation that merges foresight with practical wisdom.
