Keeping our skies safe
Elise Quevedo
September 21, 2025
Technology always has two faces, and drones are no exception. Behind the dazzling and magical light shows is a history deeply rooted in war, surveillance, and public safety.
Storytellers in the sky
Elise Quevedo
September 14, 2025
I've been fascinated by drones since I was a kid, and this is the first of two articles on the topic. Lately, I've explored how drones are used in arts and entertainment.
Preparing future leaders for a world shaped by AI
Elise Quevedo
September 07, 2025
It's September, and school is back in session across the world. For years, when we have spoken about the future of education, we have debated whether technology was making students more distracted or more prepared.
Safeguarding human dignity in a digital identity world
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
August 24, 2025
For years, digital identity has been a conversation happening in closed rooms, among policymakers, legal experts, and a handful of tech innovators. But now, it is becoming mainstream. And whether we like it or not, it will affect every single one of us over the upcoming years.
Why should you hand over your most sensitive personal data to a digital system?
Who manages it?
Who protects it?
Who profits from it?
Governments and technology providers are scrambling to answer openly at the moment
A single step towards better safety for humans
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
August 10, 2025
Imagine waking up and finding a video of yourself saying things you never said.
That’s the reality deepfakes have made possible, and Denmark is ready to fight back.
The story is that Denmark is making history. They are the first country to push forward a bill focused entirely on protecting human identity in the age of AI.
This law aims to give people the legal power to go after anyone who uses their image, voice, or likeness without consent.
3 Apps for Mental Health. Tech is not good or bad, it’s what we put into it
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
August 03, 2025
Although I always celebrate technology and innovation, today, I want to talk about the moments where tech doesn't uplift, and instead, it isolates, damages, and, in some cases, destroys lives.
Over the past years, we've seen a rise in conversations about the dark side of AI. We've also explored the need to raise our voices, to speak out, and to use platforms for good. This piece is a continuation of that journey.
Because while AI has transformed how we communicate and even care for one another, it has also been weaponised in subtle and devastating ways. One unfortunate fact we need to accept is that our connected world isn't always a safe one, especially for the most vulnerable among us.
Has the AI crackdown begun?
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
July 27, 2025
It was only a matter of time before platforms started drawing firmer lines in the sand. It is a new chapter in how the digital world defines value, creativity, and authenticity.
YouTube, the world's largest video platform and arguably one of the biggest storytelling stages on Earth, made this policy live with little fanfare. However, you can now find numerous misleading videos on all platforms.
Behind every innovation, there's a human being
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
July 20, 2025
My dear Wimbledon, this year I tuned in to watch you with a bit of sadness, knowing what was to come.
The line judges, those incredible, silent, poised custodians of the game, were officially gone. Replaced by Hawk-Eye Live, a system of high-speed cameras, their absence became one of the most talked-about aspects of the tournament.
And not for the right reasons. This moment at Wimbledon has changed the course of history. When technology begins to erase the people who helped shape the soul of a sport, we need to take a moment to remember why we play and why we watch in the first place.
If you can’t prove it’s yours, is it really?
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
July 13, 2025
Can I protect the work I've made with AI? It's a fair question, and what most people don't realise is that ownership in the AI space isn't guaranteed. Then again, is anything ever guaranteed in life?
In a piece I wrote last month, "Unpacking Digital Rights. Who Really Owns Your Digital Twin?" I looked at how digital identities are becoming commodities and who owns these digital versions of us.
Today, I want to zoom in on an equally important issue, which is AI and copyright. Who owns what? What can you protect? And what happens if you get it wrong?
If trust is the currency of the future, how are you earning it today?
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
June 29, 2025
Let me start this week with a thought we cannot get away from. No one can deny that we're living in the most advanced era of human-machine collaboration we've ever seen. From enterprise automation to customer service, AI use is everywhere, and its growth is only accelerating.
Yet, with every new application, one question matters the most: can we trust it? This question links to the principle of transparency.
People First, Always. AWS and the GenAI Mindset That’s Shaping the Future
www.elisequevedo.com
June 19, 2025
If you want to future-proof your business, don’t just look at your tech stack; look at your people.
That’s the main lesson I took from AWS at London Tech Week 2025 (LTW). I’ve attended countless tech events over the years, but there’s something impactful about a global brand like Amazon Web Services (AWS) showing up with innovation and intention. The focus wasn’t just GenAI - which was the focus of 99% of LTW - it was GenAI with a human mindset.
London Tech Week - what’s possible when policy, technology, and people align?
www.elisequevedo.com
June 15, 2025
It was a busy week for the tech event landscape in Europe, with multiple events taking place and overlapping this week. London Tech Week and the AI Summit in London, VivaTech and Nvidia GTC in Paris, and the AWS Summit in Madrid, to name a few.
It's not often that I walk away from a major tech event with both excitement and a list of notes on what could’ve been better. But that’s exactly what happened after attending London Tech Week 2025.
From star-studded keynotes to bustling expo floors, this year’s edition had all the ingredients for a world-class experience. And yet, amid dazzling tech demos and powerful speeches, a few things missed the mark.
Unpacking Digital Rights. Who Really Owns Your Digital Twin?
www.elisequevedo.com
June 13, 2025
So, let's reflect here. How often are we giving up our digital rights? And what does it really mean when an app or activation asks for our photo, our likeness, or even lets us “create our digital twin”?
Why Outdated Thinking Hinders Future Growth
www.elisequevedo.com
June 05, 2025
Every day, I see individuals and companies that are brave enough to change the way they think because it's necessary. To all the dreamers, builders, and storytellers out there, remember this:
You don't need to be perfect to evolve. You just need to be willing. Because you can't build a future on outdated thinking, but you can build it on courage, curiosity, and the commitment to do things differently.
When the Lights Go Out. Understanding Electric Grid Vulnerabilities and the Role of AI
www.elisequevedo.com
April 29, 2025
Yesterday, millions of people across Spain, Portugal, and parts of France experienced something we often take for granted. A sudden, unexpected blackout that stopped life in its tracks.
No power. No warning. Just silence. Did that really happen?
In those few hours, we got a reminder of how fragile our electric infrastructure really is and how dependent we are on systems that can be brought down in an instant.
It wasn’t a scene from a dystopian film. It was real life, and it happened in 2025!
Is Europe’s New AI Action Plan a Game-Changer or Just Hot Air?
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
April 13, 2025
The European Union has unveiled its much-anticipated AI Continent Action Plan, a bold, headline-grabbing initiative to propel the EU to the front of global artificial intelligence development. Or is it?
The plan is ambitious, and Europe is framing itself as a builder instead of just a regulator for the first time in years. It's tempting to be swept up in the buzz of it all.
A New Chapter for Hitachi Digital And Leadership in Action

Toshiaki Tokunaga formally assumed his position as President and CEO of Hitachi, Ltd. a few days ago. With Tokunaga leading the charge, I believe a new era is coming that will call for a more global vision and deeper AI integration.
Are we using technology to elevate our lives or to escape from them?
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
April 06, 2025
Scrolling through my feed a few days ago, I noticed some content tagged with #RawDogging. Let me explain if you missed this trend when it first made waves last year. It refers to travelling without using technology, with no maps, translation apps, or curated playlists, just a person, the world, and the unknown. This trend has a few variations, but the essence is the same.
It might sound edgy at first, but isn't that how travel used to be? We walked around, got lost, asked for directions, joked, and gained knowledge.
Before contemporary technology took over, many of us lived that pure, unfiltered existence; it wasn't a fad. How, then, did something so fundamental turn into a novelty? Why has it become a countercultural act to simply be in the moment?
Can the new AI factories propel Europe into the AI superpower club?
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
March 30, 2025
In the never-ending AI competition, Europe has taken its most daring step. An important turning point in the technological development of the continent was reached with the announcement this year by the European Commission of a €200 billion investment in AI.
Six new AI factories are at the centre of this programme, serving as the catalysts for Europe's goal of becoming the global leader in AI development.
But what does this mean for Europe? The most important question we are all asking is whether it can truly compete with the US and China.
NVIDIA GTC: Collaboration drives innovation
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
March 23, 2025
NVIDIA's annual GPU Technology Conference (GTC), nicknamed this year the “Super Bowl of Artificial Intelligence (AI) events,” took place this week. Each year, CEO Jensen Huang steps onto the stage in his signature leather jacket to unveil the latest breakthroughs in AI, accelerated computing, and deep learning.
This year’s keynote cements NVIDIA’s dominance in AI while demonstrating how strategic collaborations continue to shape the future of technology. Over 25,000 people filled the auditorium live, and the keynote has been streamed over 18 million times.
The Dark Side of AI
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
March 16, 2025
It's not all sunshine and rainbows in the AI world. The Dark Side of AI is real and we need to educate more from a younger age to prevent malicious actions.
It's not about tech being bad, it is the humans behind it that make the choices of how to use it.
Unveiling IBM's Impact: A Look at Their Evolution from Tech Pioneer to Future-Shaper at Mobile World Congress 2025

February 19, 2025
As I reflect on IBM's storied journey through technology, we must give kudos to its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and human-centric progress. From its inception in 1911 as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) to its current stature as a global technology leader, IBM has consistently demonstrated a profound dedication to advancing technology and societal well-being.

AI, Privacy, and the Looming Security Crisis: Who’s Protecting Our Data?
https://tomorrowsaffairs.com/
February 09, 2025
Last week, I mentioned our technological strides in my article about DeepSeek's R1 large language model (LLM). However, as we embrace these advancements, a pressing concern looms: what do these new LLMs and AI technologies mean for our privacy and security?
We must ask the question, what about our data? Who will regulate what information is taken? We can all agree that AI's allure is undeniable. Yet beneath this shiny exterior lies a potential minefield for our personal information.
It can feel like a magician's trick sometimes: look over here so you don't see what I'm doing over there. LLMs ingest vast amounts of data to function effectively, but this data often includes sensitive personal information, which is what raises significant privacy concerns.

How to deal with online haters/trolls
YouTube
April 05, 2024
Once a year, I reshare an article I wrote back in 2021 titled:
“How to deal with online haters and trolls”
And of course, thank my collaborators at the time, David Calle, Glen Gilmore, Tamara McCleary, and Ralph Echemendia. All shared their words of wisdom on this topic.
It is public knowledge that if you are in the public eye, the haters, trolls, and bullies will end up in your DMs, comments, or emails at some time or another.
I have always been a big advocate of promoting being a person of honesty, integrity, and value, being authentic to who you are, and being a voice of strength for those who may not be or feel as strong as I do in a specific moment in their life.
