Towards a Digital Renaissance
About
In Towards a Digital Renaissance, I trace the evolution of values in creative businesses from nascent cyberspace and the music industry of the noughties through to today’s emerging metaverses – and suggest that now is the time to create a more empathetic approach to building businesses in the emerging new markets for AI driven metaverses and digital twins.
The level of business disruption and new service creation arising from Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI is having as disruptive an effect on creative businesses as the arrival of the internet did thirty years ago.
Silver argues that bigger is not always better, and Towards a Digital Renaissance lays out hope for a future where new companies might play a leading role in growing tech for good.
Technology, Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Investment
Through the stories of four different businesses, Towards a Digital Renaissance examines the interplay between founders and investors in the digital sector. It looks at the role of public funding to support private investment and suggests that the traditional style of the Silicon Valley way needs to be reassessed and replaced by something with a better balance between the drive to scale and the humanity of stakeholders. The book points to the emerging future markets of the AI driven metaverse and digital twins as a new opportunity to change the way in which business models work to make more responsible use of powerful new technologies such as machine learning and virtual reality.
