From the phonetic alphabet to the AI society: Ashkan Fardost, international speaker, challenges how we think and perceive the world.
We often talk about technology as a tool – something we use. But what happens if we flip the perspective? What if technology instead shapes how we think, relate, organize society – and even how we perceive reality?
In this episode of Tech Royale, we’re joined by Ashkan Fardost – former musician and researcher, now one of Sweden’s most in-demand speakers on the future, digitalization, and human behavior. With a unique ability to connect history, neuroscience, and technological development, he shows how our alphabet, our organizations, and even our decisions carry traces of a worldview that is now being fundamentally challenged.
We talk about:
- Why today’s societal structure is based on a linear, phonetic system of thinking
- What happens when a generation raised in “everything happens everywhere, all at once” environments enters a sequential working world
- How technology changes our dreams, desires, and values – without us even noticing
- What AI will never understand – and why that’s exactly where our human future begins
- How paper, language, and the internet have literally shaped our brains
A conversation about technology, but more than anything, about humanity, perception, and the future beyond the numbers.
Tech Royale is hosted, as always, by Robin Askelöf, CMO at HiQ.
