I recently got an invite to present a TEDx talk at Haberdashers School in Elstree, England. Shortly afterwards, a second TEDx talk invite came through from the American School of Warsaw, Poland. Of course, I accepted both, but then the challenge became how to do two TEDx talks with some clear differentiation. The result is that I did the first one with a focus upon my latest book theme: how can you prove that you are you? The second one focused upon jobs of the future, bearing in mind it’s for our children of the future. Therefore, in the spirit of sharing, here are the two talks.
First: how can you prove you are you?
This talk is all about the implications of a deep fake world and working out that you not only need to know who you are dealing with these days – on the internet, no-one knows you are a dog – but how can you prove who you are as, after all, on the internet, no-one knows you are a dog. It’s all about digital identity and trust in a deep-fake world.

Second: which will be the best jobs twenty years from now?
We all wonder where the world is going with technology, progress and innovation, especially with artificial intelligence, so what will be the jobs our children should focus upon for tomorrow? The presentation looks at the skills we should be teaching our children for tomorrow. We had a few issues with the clicker on this one, but it still works well.
Oh, and meanwhile, there’s a version of both presentations in a kind of mix in my last big keynote in Moldova a few months ago.
Finally, if you have not spotted it, I did do a TEDx a few years ago in Greece, which is still a decent one.
Either way, what I love about presenting at schools is that the children are key to where are going, and it is all about the jobs we are creating for them in the future rather than the ones we lost in the past. This is the key point in all of our dialogue. You need to focus upon the jobs of the future, not the ones we have lost.
