    Changing the future of Technology & Digital
    Technological disruption will enable a seamless society and our priority is to remove friction from our lives and close the digital divide.

    An interview with Joseph Bradley

    1. How will the metaverse shape our future and our societies?
      The metaverse will be a game changer as it will create a new environment for us to experience - whether by creating an immersive experience without friction or streamlining day-to-day activities, it will shape our collective future. Second, we’re forming a diverse, cutting-edge partner network to develop solutions and devices that enhance the human experience and accelerate progress. Finally, we’re pioneering differential privacy tools and solution choices that are fundamental to a trusted, personalized and cognitive world.
    2. Why do you support a technological disruption?
      Technological disruption will enable a seamless society and our priority is to remove friction from our lives and close the digital divide. In a seamless society, you can engage and disengage with resources dynamically because you have a common pool of data, and the source of data is so intelligent, it’s able to match supply with demand.
    3. Why is trust so important in a city that runs on data?
      To create value, the first thing that applies is the fundamental concept of trust. Once you have trust, you can create unique opportunities and economic value associated with data and insight. This is fundamentally important to solving and creating economic value as we think about building a cognitive city. And from a societal perspective, a seamless society is one that can collaborate without barriers, made up of individuals whose uniqueness is embraced and nurtured. NEOM aims to enable people to live their best possible life, in harmony with nature, technology and each other.
    4. What is the role of humans in such a transformational tech landscape?
      Technological convergence redefined our relationships with one another, how we treat nature and interact with technology. As technology becomes more prevalent and powerful, being human and embracing our uniquely human characteristics will be the most valuable skills organizations will need. Humans will always be key to steering our future-forward societies.
    5. What does diversity mean to you and to the company?
      As much as diversity is important in principle, we believe in empowering voices, enabling the active participation of all. Inclusivity is not just the right thing to do, it’s the most profitable decision to make.
    6. NEOM is aiming for a seamless society – would you be able to map out what that means and how it's possible?
      It’s possible because cognitive technology makes it possible. This technology will be woven into the very fabric of NEOM as it is being built from the ground up. So, from a technological perspective, a seamless society is one in which this technology means an entire cognitive city can become engaged in a multidirectional learning cycle that seamlessly integrates predictive, proactive, generative technology into the everyday lives of its citizens, adding unprecedented value to the human experience. NEOM’s Digital Twin will also facilitate a new kind of mixed-reality urban living, overlaying the physical and digital worlds into one seamless, integrated experience. As a result, it means that from a societal perspective one can also create a seamless society, in which people can collaborate without barriers, in a way that simply was not possible before.
    7. Next generation artificial intelligence sounds like a huge challenge. In simple terms, could you explain what that will look like on the ground?
      It is a challenge. That’s why we’re attracting the best minds and innovators to help us build it. The cognitive community at NEOM, will redefine living by enabling a new kind of relationship between residents and their city. This new relationship will be founded on an ecosystem of cognitive tech that creates a learning loop, optimizing services to improve daily life. Every single individual resident, regardless of race, gender, nationality, or location will be able to enjoy the benefits of highly personalized services created using the generative AI embedded in the common architecture of their community.
    8. What is the legacy you want to leave for future generations?
      In everything we do, we have a view to future generations. And it’s more than jobs and space travel. The cognitive world we build for future generations will be predictive, personalized, contextualized and immersive. This will spark a quantum leap forward in how we can apply technology to raise living standards and produce outcomes that are more inclusive, equitable and sustainable.
