A reef to the very meta huge data streams are approaching every industry possible but for better or worse decentralized systems like block chain scott institutions putting the power in our hands but does that make them more vulnerable to abuse and attack one of the most influential women in the world of tech sherman loves to disrupt she regularly disrupts her own career path tackling something you every few years and you can do that being in demand among investors and top officials. Met up with a. I mean vashon get likes to think differently to challenge and to drive innovation. Shes a Company Found with a ph d. In i. T. Management. She was born in iran grew up in vienna and now lives in berlin. Its a creative city and a great place to work on her unusual ideas. In a coworking space she develops new Digital Technologies together with startups. Starting something new isnt hard for me anymore. I actually seem to look for ruptures for discontinuity maybe thats because im a child of the diaspora my parents had to leave their country when i was four. Maybe that so to see emotionally. A lifetime driven by curiosity you have to understand things. And the only way to understand them is by doing them. Thats why i do something completely new every two to three years thats what i. Mean version is current focus is block chain a complex technology that she thinks could change the world but chain as a new kind of digital operating system the up locations can run on it already underlies the cryptocurrency bitcoin. It could make banks and Insurance Companies redundant in the future looks chain as a decentralized Computer Network containing encrypted data entered by users online all computers in the network receive an identical copy which creates a chain of data records that allow transactions to be purchased. Say wanted to send you money today. Weve only just met i dont really know you so i also cant trust you and i would only do it through a Central Authority like a bank or provider like pay pal. Or a Credit Card Company or money gram or something. Or now its possible to send money directly to you and i dont need an authority and. Chain protocol the code and the decentralized network have a mechanism that means i can trust you even though i dont it means we dont need the Central Authority anymore and. Instead transactions are checked for validity with a kind of majority vote system up. And if theyre genuine be carried out automatically. Its often in vienna where she grew up. She teaches and advises companies. Shes used to people not understanding how when she talks about the transformations underway in a new digital world. As we have them after my comments from aftermath when we wrote our first email or surf the web for the first time we never imagined what other opportunities the internet would bring about such as social networks. In my experience most people have trouble imagining a world thats different from the status quo. And people think that what im saying is like a video. They just cant. What im talking about. I think kind of russia. Even Big Companies still have a lot of catching up to do in terms of digitalisation. Tunica is the biggest Insurance Company in austria and theyve all stuck to for advice. For corporations the central question is will the new technology be a threat to their Business Model or a way to make money. They tend to start ups and block chain experts for help. With a name for two years ago i was going into companies and giving lectures to explain the basics and now weve progressed to the point where companies are getting to grips with the topic they have a rough overview. But as always the devils in the details and the time. The d. N. A. University of economics and business has just set up a new Research Institute for crypto economics and shame involved as the director. Digital currencies change run governments contracts without noise as there are limitless possibilities. But also wants the institute to research the dark sides of block trying. To get to its a very powerful technology and it will spawn further technologies that we can use it as a machine to promote universal freedom to create a better decentralized society with less bureaucracy. Which will be better suited to a globalized world yet. If we dont do it right the very same technology can become a machine for universal control. To prevent that we have to take all aspects into account and create. A lot of it. Right now we can only begin to imagine. Where these technologies will take us the more complex a technology the harder it is to predict what it will only take. Oil majors ruled the roost just a decade ago now the most valuable listed companies are apple Google Microsoft amazon and facebook all tech giants that have turned the corporate world on its head the austrian economists youll have shown that it once said situations emerge in the process of Creative Destruction in which many may have to perish but he was concerned the corporations of his time would stifle innovation and end the destructive process is fears were unfounded. What is disruption. Wrecking destroying cracking open now with the old in with the new innovation. Taxis with human drivers set to be replaced by autonomous vehicles. Big factories with jobs that involve heavy lifting forget it let robots do the work disruption is not a new phenomenon steamships for example replaced sailing ships and horse drawn carriages gave way to cars work at p. D. I. May print encyclopaedias look quaint while digital cameras finished off thirty five millimeter film the drawback Old Companies like kodak went bust and lots of people lost their jobs the advantage everything speeded up got cheaper and for some ideas fortunes were just a click away. Like air b. N. B. It acts as a broker for private rooms and apartments but doesnt own a single hotel or employ an army of staff. The Internet Company is currently worth thirty one billion dollars to compare bricks and mortar Hotel Group Hilton is worth just twenty five billion is the day of the bellboy over eclipsed by the era of the programmer. Technological advances often spread disruption in their wake but markets grow out of disruption and leaders and new fields can quickly establish near monopolies like google and microsoft and then small startups cant compete because industry giants develop ideas on their own but even they arent ever really safe because at any time disruption could always come along and crack their industry wide open. And there are lots of smaller loses of course as well and in so many different sectors which has so often been thanks to the online bookseller turned the general conglomerate amazon it now sells just about everything even Cloud Computing to the leading provider in the world its stock price has gained seventy two percent over the past year amazon accounts for about half the every new dollar spent online in america how on earth do you beat a behemoth like that a reporter. Has a few bright ideas. Sophie filter and online it goes instagram has turned fifteen million germans into amateur photographers but for the most important moments in life says you know i felt the photos are still best left to the professionals. Its good michel because i think its nothing worse than asking your uncle to take photographs of the wedding and then get to know it later that you would look at this precious day on a cellphone the day that deserved so much more as if you have yet a shoot starts at around one hundred thirty euros for customers willing to splash out on images that have sentimental value smartphone pictures are really good enough to hang on the wall at home top and top despite Instagram Facebook and snap chat ill always be a photographer and there are enough opportunities for me to carry on doing my job for. Ditching the high street three out of four germans now buy clothes online. Smaller shops like this are paying the price. Z. Could bartek airport relies on loyal customers who spend a bit more on clothes in return for personal assistance and honest advice shes been running her shop for twenty six years and i quote may d. N. B. When it comes to my came into the shop during her pregnancy and then one day showed up with her grown up child moments like that are always the highlight highlights. But her new market is getting smaller customers are disappearing so shes starting to sell clothes online as well. My lad my shop is my life. In mind but everything has to end sometime by one click thirty million songs. With practically any track you want just a click or two away is there still a need for the real thing cd sales have plummeted but its a different story for vinyl. Thats when the things we have a theory about vinyl junkies that streaming services actually boost sales because at the end of the day a streaming service isnt going to make someone suddenly stop buying records over night from. Now on the contrary in germany sales of records have increased ten fold in the last ten years despite the surge in streaming services a few months of many fine consuming Digital Music a little abhorrent for a lot of people i think sitting in a nice comfy chair and listening to a red coat like we used to is the real way to experience music doesnt. Even form with you. As the world goes digital many traditional businesses have been forced to shut up shop but the lucky ones have carved out a nice at least for the moment. Some innovations have no obvious downside what if new technologies could solve life threatening problems in health care such as the chronic shortage of donor organs that would be a disruption wed all welcome over seven hundred thousand judgments waiting for a kidney last year just fourteen hundred were transplanted livers are also in short supply a thousand people here on the waiting list seven hundred fifty people got one in twenty seventeen and seven hundred germans awaiting for a new hot two hundred fifty were transplanted last year demand white outstrip supply for all these organs and it means that many lives are at stake a long white is both nerve racking and dangerous startup called cell breaks base just a few steps outside the studio thinks it might have the ads. One day we might be able to turn a single droplet of cells like this into a liver an artificial organ grown in the laboratory. As a goal is Companies Seeking to produce artificial organs and revolutionize the organ transplant market. Theres a pressing demand for organs such as kidneys and levers but there simply arent enough donors so how would cloak his process work. This way patients would provide their own transplant they go to the doctor or a hospital to provide cells which are then multiplied in the laboratory the bodys own cells would provide the framework from which to grow the new organ. That. The scientists believe a three d. Bio prince of theyve developed will make it possible and it sells a mixed with socalled bio ink which is derived from human tissue to create a kind of glue. Using the method theyve become one of the first teams in germany to successfully prinz living organ tissue. Without fog of our greatest achievement is that weve developed the technology to the point where for the first time we can now print physiological models that are able to mimic the functions of a human organ and the fourth one i just mentioned. This liver tissue is in a very early stage of development of whats called a lot below. The animals that does it because it already has the functionality of the liver so i can perform tests on it and draw conclusions from not about how a real human liver would respond. Clausen difficult of course these small models that we print are exciting and also have relevant applications but in the long term what we want to do is build something able to save lives thats what motivates us you know but i know christina takes a more skeptical view and invest in medical technology hes familiar with cell bricks and has looked at many startups like it but he wouldnt invest in organ bio printing. If there was a moment this is still very much a vision for the future the research certainly has some very exciting potential but i dont think the technology has yet reached the point where people will want to commit venture capital. What is ok in advance of. Designing us bond is that its still at an early stage of research when it comes to organs but the outer shape is important but so is the internal structure which is highly complex so getting to the point where its actually possible to print entire organs poses a huge challenge the common one organic. To date no full sized functional organs have been printed however sell bricks does already sell to my models. To cancer clinics for research purposes. Pediatrician i met a cooler says working with a startup has helped her research. Together we develop a three d. Tumor model which we can use in pretty Clinical Trials we can then see which immune cells are able to enter this three d. Structure. Based on the results that we get with this model we would then decide which immune cells will use in clinical testing the ones we hope can then eventually be used to treat patients. Has yet to strike it rich there are still no investors waiting to pump millions into the project stuff live from their wages as Doctoral Students but that doesnt worry lots cloak or hes inspired by his vision the promise of fame and fortune. We want to get to the point where we can print a pumping heart thats what inspires us and not the hope of becoming incredibly rich the work here is so tough that anyone whos in it only for the money would soon throw in the towel to put it bluntly. Well he tells more about the problems surrounding his health and hes an expert on the subject in germany the first of all that type of technology do you see that as something happening in the near future in our lifetime for. A vision but it would be great if it was possible. Whether or not it it is possible we dont have a get what we do have is too few dont know is he here in germany every year weve got a thousand germans waiting. For a an organ and dying. What can be done to point that out to people i mean people are really impressed by this sort of technology that way showing but why arent they impressed to the extent that they actually realize they can save lives already. Yeah there is a service show that people asked to donate organs if they are asked but they dont register as organ donor us so we need more information met transport more transparency in the system to actually increase registration rates and their differences stems about why it has the spanish example is the leading example they have an opt out system where you have to im registered if youre not willing to be an organ donor in germany we have the up in system where you need to register if you want to be an organ donor thats one difference but also and in spain there have been High Investments and. Implementing all can coordinate has in the hospital so they invested a lot in the thank you for raising Organ Donation rates lets take a look at spain because weve got a graph showing how the spaniards are World Leaders in this field its quite impressive more than four times as many spanish people actually donate organs than germans. Which makes me want to ask you whats wrong with the germans who are usually so socially aware and quite progressive in their thinking yes they are. We say that they need some more incentives to actually register. Carry organ donor cots and first we would need to central Registration System that will be a month find but also be tested and at the university of texas off to test it in a lab. Whether we could improve registration rates with the new system which is reciprocity and so if you register you get bonus points on the waiting list once you need to do. And this would help to increase registration but its for those people who are willing to donate anyhow so ok so i guess its making people aware that they may someday need an organ themselves what about these other systems where. Ive. Wanted to perhaps donate my old and to my partner but havent been able to and someone else can these this chained system has that been successful them it is implemented in the states and also successful in finding matches between incompatible paris and they have long chains also which rich but which is technically complicated but it increased. Actually the donation rates not the billing us to donate because the people are willing to donate anyhow but to find good matches and when you talk about incentives what about compensation paying people you know this is internationally its a great on but we dont want to buy organs and to sell organs because they would be a problem of exploitation of people they need monetary need this is already exploited though isnt it there is one country in the lot you know there u. S. And living and when you are living in the it on you can buy kidneys and liver but this is not working well because these people are very unhappy and i dont know its a very unhappy about the donations but there are also other countries like india where you can buy even though i from someone not legally not legally of course but but i mean this stuff goes on we have to be realistic about it yeah but this is not what we want we want people to donate as a gift because. That just lastly what would you say then to to people who are listening to this program who may never have thought about it how do you or may not even want to how do you convince them. Oh thats a good question. I would say would be proposed is to inform better about well what is brain death how is this defined how does the whole creation procedure work does the organ get to the person who really needs an organ and if you have more information to be can show that then on some more people just dont become on and on us i can have thank you very much for coming in thank you. Scientists and visionaries on to ways that foster about the way they look or how they dress but a very old style group opus has strong views about what founders and young entrepreneurs of a male persuasion should wear even if the job is all about disrupting. I got an email from ukraine the other day Business Owner of thirty five runs an i. T. Company recently decided jeans and t. Shirt dont cut it anymore not quite sure how to make that change over to business that tile work common problem but solve it. Ok vlad listen up the basics you need two suits make that three one navy one a bit of a lighter blue one grey like this one. No stripes no pap its make sure its good quality will take them to a tailor have them altered to you. Easy next shirts you need six three white ones three in different shades of blue. No patents no stripes leave therefore the ties you need six of those two plan ones one red one blue. Stripes checked dotted down. Now do the math this will give you thirty six different combinations that means you could go to work for nearly two months without wearing the same outfit twice and two or three pairs of decent shoes oxfords broke so buy the best you can afford. One more thing take your time when making the change from sloppy to smart start out wearing a suit maybe twice a week and slowly increase the frequency that will also give your colleagues time to adjust just ignore their comments. What else do you expect from guys who dress like teenagers.
