Thomas Anglero on Unmasking Humanity
In an era of rapid technological advancement, few voices resonate as powerfully as that of Thomas Anglero. As an expert in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Disruptive Technologies, Anglero brings a unique perspective to the conversation about our technological future. In a recent interview on "Unmasking Humanity: 21 Questions with Joshua T. Berglan," Anglero shared profound insights that challenge our perceptions of technology and humanity.
Anglero's journey from the Lower East Side of Manhattan to becoming a global tech leader is a testament to the power of authenticity. "Believe in yourself and go through walls," he advises. "Other people's opinions don't matter." This mindset has been crucial in his role as CEO of Too Easy AS, a SaaS AI platform bringing innovation to the Public Sector, and as a partner at CVX Ventures.
Despite his extensive background in tech, including roles as Nordic CTO and Innovation Officer for Cognizant and IBM's Head of Innovation for the Nordics, Anglero emphasizes the importance of human connection. He argues that as technology becomes more embedded in our lives, we need to focus more on our human qualities and purpose.
"We've lost the ability to communicate with each other," Anglero notes, highlighting the need for platforms that encourage genuine human interaction.
This perspective aligns with his vision for using technology to enhance, rather than replace, human capabilities.
Anglero's insights on the future of AI and robotics are both exciting and sobering. He predicts a rapid integration of robots into our daily lives, potentially within the next few years. However, he sees this not as a threat, but as an opportunity for humanity to refocus on its core purpose.
"The robots give us even more time, but not just back our time - our youth," Anglero explains. He envisions a future where AI and robotics free us from mundane tasks, allowing us to pursue more fulfilling activities and live our purpose.
Throughout the interview, Anglero stresses the importance of embracing change and innovation, even when it's uncomfortable. He shares personal anecdotes of taking risks in his career, such as putting his job on the line to promote diversity in tech speaking engagements.
"Innovation sucks. Being an innovator is horrible," Anglero admits candidly. "It's lonely."
Yet, he argues that this discomfort is necessary for progress. His advice? "When the sheep go that way, instinctively I'm going the other way."
Perhaps the most powerful message Anglero conveys is the importance of finding and living one's purpose, especially as technology advances. He challenges listeners to ask themselves, "What should I do when there is no tech?" This question, he believes, will become increasingly relevant as technology becomes more seamlessly integrated into our lives.
Anglero offers several practical pieces of advice for those navigating the rapidly changing tech landscape:
As we look to the future, Anglero paints a picture of a world where traditional job structures are disrupted by AI and robotics. However, he sees this as an opportunity rather than a threat. "When the robots come, that is your freedom," he states, encouraging people to view technological advancements as a chance to pursue their dreams and fulfill their purpose.
Thomas Anglero's insights offer a refreshing and optimistic perspective on the future of technology. By focusing on human qualities, embracing authenticity, and living with purpose, we can navigate the rapidly changing technological landscape with confidence and creativity. As we move forward into an increasingly tech-driven world, Anglero's message serves as a powerful reminder of our humanity. Technology, he argues, should enhance our lives and free us to pursue our passions, not replace our essential human qualities.
