Navigating the Future of the Digital Augmentation was the keynote address presented by Aric Dromi, futurologist and digital philosopher for Volvo Car Group, at the 2016 MasterCard Global Risk Leadership Conference in Split, Croatia last week. Aric explained that the digital world is quickly becoming humanity’s sandbox, moving us form the notion of looking at screens to becoming part of the information. His insights into how data has impacted the world fell right in line with the core conference topics of digital safety and security. From Fintech to smart cities, from autonomous mobility to social interaction, there is a new set of growing fields that define every aspect of our lives.
