Brian Solis is a Digital Analyst and Digital Anthropologist who left college before graduating so that he could pursue his passion. He had always been interested in technological advancements and their influence over both businesses and individuals, so he decided to combine them into one job description. Brian studies the trajectory of disruptive technologies and evaluates how they will affect humans and their businesses. He has written numerous books on the subject– most recently X: The Experience When Business Meets Design– as he hopes to spread the word to the public about the future of tech. With the potential for major growth in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in many industries, Brian shares how college students and recent graduates can be ready to adapt and ride the wave.
