Imagine This...

BCG’s Mary Martin imagines a future where restaurants will harness advances in artificial intelligence, data management, and robotics to create a better experience for both customers and staff. This could involve using AI to personalize dining or deploying robots in the kitchen to help the chef with certain repetitive tasks. While these advances will usher in a unique customer experience, restaurants will still need a human touch.    Learn More:  Mary Martin: https://on.bcg.com/3Bo1mjM [https://on.bcg.com/3Bo1mjM]  Menu for One: GenAI Lets Restaurants Get Personal: https://on.bcg.com/3BbO3mH [https://on.bcg.com/3BbO3mH]  Where’s the Value in AI?: https://on.bcg.com/3OV7lzD [https://on.bcg.com/3OV7lzD]  CEO Moments of Truth: https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT [https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT]  GenAI on GenAI: https://link.chtbl.com/bcg-genai-on-genai?sid=IT [https://link.chtbl.com/bcg-genai-on-genai?sid=IT]  CEO Digest: https://link.chtbl.com/ceo-digest-bcg-show?sid=IT [https://link.chtbl.com/ceo-digest-bcg-show?sid=IT]

By the year 2035, we will likely be able to utilize AI to crunch complex data sets and produce far more accurate predictions of the future, for everything from stock market fluctuations to consumer trends. Already, meteorologists are using AI to improve weather forecasting—for instance, by more accurately predicting when a hurricane will make landfall. But BCG’s Alan Iny says this does not mean that business leaders will be able to dispense with planning for multiple scenarios. Predictions will never be perfect—and everyone will have access to the same tools—so strategic planning will remain critical even as it evolves in new ways.    Learn More:  Alan Iny: https://on.bcg.com/4fCNDo5 [https://on.bcg.com/4fCNDo5]  Are Leaders as Prepared for Strategic Risks as They Think They Are?: https://on.bcg.com/3AXqw8J [https://on.bcg.com/3AXqw8J]  BCG on Corporate Finance and Strategy: https://on.bcg.com/496c3Ek [https://on.bcg.com/496c3Ek]  CEO Moments of Truth: https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT [https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT]  GenAI on GenAI: https://lnk.to/bcg-genai-on-genai-series-link04 CEO Digest: https://lnk.to/ceo-digest-general-series-link04

Quantum computers harness the almost mystical properties of subatomic particles to solve problems that are beyond even the most powerful “classical” computers available today. Will these computers usher in a new generation of custom pharmaceuticals and sustainable materials—or will they be used to crack every password and create global chaos? BCG’s Antoine Gourévitch imagines the coming age of quantum computers and dives deep into ways they could supercharge the discovery of new materials. But the quantum age comes with huge risks as well; governments around the world are already racing to develop quantum-safe passwords that will keep our data secure.    Learn More:  Antoine Gourévitch: https://on.bcg.com/4hMrXaQ [https://on.bcg.com/4hMrXaQ] BCG on Quantum Computing: https://on.bcg.com/3AGK415 [https://on.bcg.com/3AGK415] GenAI on GenAI: https://lnk.to/bcg-genai-on-genai-series-link04 CEO Digest: https://lnk.to/ceo-digest-general-series-link04 CEO Moments of Truth: https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT [https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT]

How will advances in sustainable materials and modular construction change how homes are designed and built? And how will these innovations address the urgent need for affordable housing? BCG’s Matthias Tauber suggests ways to solve the housing crisis through changes in design, manufacturing, materials, permitting, and financing. Homes of the future will provide more alternatives, often by reimagining shared spaces and resources in flexible ways that allow for custom designs. The one no-regret move? Tauber says: invest in technology.   Learn More:  Matthias Tauber: https://on.bcg.com/4fh2mo2 [https://on.bcg.com/4fh2mo2]  Building Materials Industry: https://on.bcg.com/3Ultz19 [https://on.bcg.com/3Ultz19]  GenAI on GenAI: https://lnk.to/bcg-genai-on-genai-series-link04 CEO Digest: https://lnk.to/ceo-digest-general-series-link04 CEO Moments of Truth: https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT [https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT]

Imagine walking into an AI-enabled grocery store that knows what you eat, how fit you are, and other personal health data, and can steer you towards healthier choices - and give you discounts on them. BCG’s John Paschkewitz explores a world where governments, insurance companies, and grocery and pharmacy chains join forces to individualize and subsidize products that are better for your health.  We could lead healthier lives, save money, and make environmentally sustainable choices. But we would all need to get comfortable sharing a lot more information about ourselves.  Learn More:  John Paschkewitz: https://on.bcg.com/3BDpjDs [https://on.bcg.com/3BDpjDs]  Can Deep Tech Innovation Generate Green Products?: https://on.bcg.com/4dIpDOS [https://on.bcg.com/4dIpDOS]  BCG on Deep Tech: https://on.bcg.com/4eYpHee [https://on.bcg.com/4eYpHee]  CEO Moments of Truth: https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT [https://on.bcg.com/ITMoT]  GenAI on GenAI: https://lnk.to/bcg-genai-on-genai-series-link04 CEO Digest: https://lnk.to/ceo-digest-general-series-link04
