# ['We're Going to Have Teams Made Up of Humans and Non-Humans, Together'](https://www.secureworld.io/industry-news/ai-and-blockchain-preparation)

The future will be *built with* AI and *built on* Blockchain.

So what should we be considering now about these rapid changes ahead?

Former Intel Chief Evangelist and Futurist Steve Brown will do a crucial level set on this topic as the opening keynote for the 2018 [SecureWorld Twin Cities](http://events.secureworldexpo.com/details/twin-cities-mn-2018/) cybersecurity conference on September 6th.

 We asked him about his session, *Going Digital:* *Building Your Strategic Roadmap for the Next Wave of Digital Transformation.*

“Organizations have been through web, mobile, cloud, all those things, and we’re now about to hit a new wave of technologies that come together and fundamentally change the relationship between customers, business processes, the way people work,” says Brown, who goes by [@BaldFuturist](https://twitter.com/baldfuturist).

“We’re going to have teams that are made up of humans and non-humans together. Just re-thinking how you get eyes on your business, make smarter decisions and how you keep all of that secure as you increasingly digitize the business is going to be a challenge for everybody. What I do in my keynote is help you think through what are the strategic questions I need to ask and answer in this dramatically changing business landscape?”
