new PMI certificationsThe Human Hive – a not so far future scenario
• many connected individuals – 9 billion in 2030,
2020: 4 billion connected
• intensified communication, between all –
internet/5G, access everywhere, brain computer interface +
social skills, physical distancing, real-time
• global internet – Elon Musk’s Starlink 42k+ satellites (2022: 1440)
• common rites and behaviors – go back to human values
• different roles / capabilities still needed – specialty skills, AI?
• hive is more important than any individual (utilitarism) -
value of community stronger than that of individual freedom
Term coined by Singularity UniversityThe Human Hive – enhanced by Ubuntu Ubuntu: Belief that we are one human family 'A person is a person through other people’ – ‘I am because you are’ 3 aspects, 9 elements of Ubuntu • attitudes: dignity, respect, tolerance • behaviors: listening, honesty, conflict solution • relationships: community, belonging, interdependence A growing human hive may lead to • extreme diversity and hence unprecedented creativity • new forms of power from scale, inclusion • changes in governance (role of nations?, governments?) • democratization and demonetization
