FINAL WORD
Right there , those are millions of people left out of the equation , partially because of education , partially because they don ’ t have access to formal sector jobs .
So , if they were able to participate – with validated identity and credentials , we would be much more effective as a global community ?
Our ability to connect in the digital age requires trust . Blockchain technology can help bridge the current connection gap and help change the world for the better .
Through trust based on accessible , immutable data , it will improve inequality here on Earth by unleashing the potential of all people and human intellect , no matter where they are based .
The rise of Quantum Computing will transform data processing and encryption . Quantum Computing will result in the acceleration of AI and Machine Learning , which will require more governance and validation of human versus machine identity .
The democratization of technology is also democratizing access to space . Space has been democratized as every nation reaches upward to access the skies above us . There is recognition of the potential and harnessing Earth observation data , which , when manipulated by AI and Quantum Computing , will give us new insights into challenges as varied as flood management to malaria mitigation to defense . This global progress and participation will compound the need for solutions to validate and trust as we work and collaborate virtually across interplanetary distances .
As we work together across geographical boundaries , the next revolution is in trusting each other in our connectivity .
