Rogue AI will destroy many large companies and threaten governments. Cybercrime already costs $8tn a year. Criminal gangs and hostile governments are already hijacking AI - often working together in hybrid war strategies. Cybersecurity keynote.

If Cybercrime were a nation it would ALREADY be the world's 3rd largest economy. AI is massively boosting cybercrime – already $8 trillion a year. AI-driven cyberattacks are one of the greatest risks for every industry and a threat to every corporation. Our world is already being hit by over 500 million different ransomware attacks a year, 20% of cybercrime. 50% directed at US-based organisations. Although 90% of organisations refuse to pay, that means 50 million do so each year.

Cybersecurity is a Number One issue. Average ransom is $500,000, with no guarantee that data will be restored. Dealing with all damage and restoring things to normal, costs each company more than $2.2m on average, the equivalent of 35,000 hours of time. And that is without the cost to reputation, consumer trust and so on. 66% of companies report significant loss of revenue following an attack, with 29% laying off staff as a result. One in three UK companies hit by a ransomware attack close down altogether. AI itself is already being attacked – by rogue AI. Researchers have already “poisoned” AI by feeding “healthy” AI with hidden code in generative Chat requests, which turned that AI into a “Sleeper Agent”. It can then be hijacked at any time using special triggers in other Chat requests, to do really bad things such as write deliberate vulnerabilities into computer code. Such “poisoning” of AI is permanent, and almost impossible to detect or reverse. It is vital to understand that this is an “asymmetric battle”.

Strategic transformation - why 70% of corporate strategies fail to deliver. Lessons for leadership in all larger corporations. Keynote speaker on strategy and change management

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Leadership, Strategy, Business Ethics - Keynotes

Here is the shocking truth about business strategy in large organisations. 70% fail to deliver as hoped for, especially where large-scale change management is needed. In recent AI initiatives the failure rate has been even higher. For example, a recent survey of 6000 CEOs and senior executives found that 95% of companies had failed to see any benefit from their AI investment over the last three years.

There are multiple reasons for these high levels of failure which include unexpected changes in markets, customer expectations and behaviour, lack of focus on business fundamentals, unclear or over-ambitious objectives, poor cost control, failure to manage risks, and different parts of the business pulling in different directions.

But the core reason is often a disconnect between corporate strategy and how team members actually feel, whether they really believe in it all: involved, committed, engaged.

How AI-robots will take over from surgeons in some operations by 2035. 95% of routine ops in UK will be assisted by robots linked to AI in 10 years. Keynote on future health care and AI robotics

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - BioTech and MedTech Keynote Speaker

AI-Robot Surgeons will soon be operating themselves (not just as servo-arms of human beings) - and within 10 years will be carrying out major procedures independently. 30 million hours of robotic operations have already been carried out.

20% of all ops in UK are robot-assisted already, which will rise to 95% by 2035. This is just a small part of the AI revolution taking place across health care, which will save 10 million lives a year by 2035. - 25% reduction in operative time - 30% decrease in intraoperative complications - 40% increase in surgical precision - 15% shorter recovery time - 20% higher surgeon workflow - 10% cut in healthcare costs.

Dr Patrick Dixon is a global keynote speaker on BioTech, MedTech, author 18 books - here comment after AI HEALTH INNOVATION KEYNOTE at NextGen BioMed 2025.

Every aspect of health care, MedTech, BioTech, GeneTech and Pharma drug development is being accelerated by AI, and health care companies are likely to be spending over $4bn every year on AI by 2027. AI could drive up to $50bn a year of future sales. The number of new drugs developed using AI has already increased ten times in a single year.  For example, AI is being used to:

◆ Identify potentially useful molecules for tests

◆ Design and build completely new molecules to fit cell receptors, etc.

◆ Automate testing of hundreds of molecules

◆ Streamline clinical trials - speeding up recruitment by 100%

◆ Analyse data almost instantly

◆ Write up results

Beyond Chaos - how to survive and thrive. What next for global trade, tariffs, Russian war, other geopolitical risks and the global economy. Futurist Keynote Speaker

Comment on "global chaos' - March 2025 

As a Futurist who has worked with over 400 of the world's largest corporations, as well as advising many governments, I have successfully forecast a huge range of global trends over the last 30 years.

Described in many of my 18 books including Futurewise, The Future of Almost Everything, SustainAgility and most recently How AI Will Change Your Life. See also this website.

Our world is undergoing a major convulsion created by geopolitical threats, autocratic leaders and massive tehno-changes such as AI. What does this mean for the future?

Here are my key messages for leaders of companies and governments.  You may be the largest bank in the world, an AI giant or on oil company - the same factors apply.

Reality Check - Megatrends will continue to drive global growth

It's vital to keep a sense of perspective in times of chaos – to keep focussed on the larger picture.

Our planet continues to turn, day in, day out - and lives of almost all ordinary people continue to change relatively slowly.

Despite the frenzy of media news-feeds, the TRUTH is that our world will continue to be driven by macro-forces which are far more powerful than any government.

Examples include:

• Innovation and techno-revolutions such as AI
• Demographic changes – population growth, better health and ageing
• Wealth contrasts across regions – driving mass migrations 
• Rapid growth in power and influence of emerging markets
• Global race towards a more ‘sustainable’ future
