Michael Rogers Speaking Topics

AI Reshapes the Workplace—and the Worker

The rapid rise of ChatGPT and genAI technology has been astonishing—and the impact has just begun. “Cognitive computing” can ingest vast amounts of information and quickly generate comments, reports, or decisions comparable to human effort. Everything from professional services to retail and even construction will be altered by cognitive computing. The nature of work will change—and the challenge for management and education will be to determine which skills are uniquely human.

Energy Futures: Assessing the Choices

Rogers has followed the world energy picture since he shared the National Headliners Award for coverage of the Chernobyl disaster and its implications for nuclear energy. He has written extensively on alternative energy and recently participated in the United Nations conference Bridging the Divide on bringing new energy technology to developing countries, as well as speaking and consulting for a variety of energy companies.

Education: The Basics Go Digital

After creating the award-winning Parents’ Guide to Children’s Software, Rogers has followed education and technology issues closely. He often speaks to audiences of both parents and educators about technology and learning — and specifically how the rise of computers and the Internet has actually increased the importance of the thinking skills that underlie the traditional three R’s. He has worked with both K-12 audiences and higher education on both issues of pedagogy as well as new business models in the virtual age.

The Challenges for Law

Between globalization of services and the digitization of business, the legal profession is facing more change in the next decade than has occurred in the past century. Michael Rogers has worked extensively with the American Bar Association, state Bars and individual firms to talk about how the profession can adapt, what younger lawyers can expect and how older lawyers need to adapt.

The Future of Media

In this presentation, Michael Rogers explains how the rise of the Internet and the digitization of all media are having a profound effect on the media industries. What will the next decade see in content and services delivery, customer expectations, the protection of intellectual property, and the role of traditional media? Will we still have newspapers? Will we still have traditional television? Who will create, distribute and profit from the news? And the rise of citizen journalism—via blogs and social media—means that for corporations, nothing is under the radar anymore. Who will be the winners and losers between cable, satellite, landlines and wireless?
