In this FutureScape interview, Marco Bianconi explores new technologies and the future of work in 2030.
What happens when artificial intelligence, immersive technology, wearable systems, and human potential begin to converge in everyday life?
In this new FutureScape conversation, physicist and senior researcher Marco Bianconi reflects on one of the defining tensions of our time: the relationship between technological acceleration and the human future. From XR and smart glasses to sustainability, healthcare, and the future of work, the interview opens a wide and necessary field of questions.
One of the most striking ideas in the conversation is that future technology is becoming more intimate. Devices are getting smaller, more immersive, and more integrated into the rhythms of daily life. Smart glasses may gradually replace the smartphone. Wearables may evolve from external accessories into intelligent fabrics, and eventually into implantable systems.
Artificial Intelligence, XR, and the Future of Work
Bianconi also explores how artificial intelligence and immersive systems may transform the future of work. Routine and repetitive roles appear increasingly vulnerable, while creativity, empathy, teaching, and complex human judgment may become even more valuable.
At the same time, XR and wearable technology could reshape sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, fashion, and education. This is not a distant science-fiction scenario. It is a transition that is already unfolding, even if its final form is not yet clear.
Innovation Without Ethics Is Not Enough
Another powerful thread in the interview is sustainability. The future cannot be measured only by what technology allows us to do. It must also be measured by energy use, environmental cost, material design, and social consequence.
That is why this conversation matters. It does not treat artificial intelligence or future technology as abstract trends. It asks what they will mean for our lives, our freedoms, our work, and our evolving relationship with the systems we create.

People also ask
What is the future of work in 2030?
The future of work in 2030 will likely be shaped by artificial intelligence, automation, immersive technology, and the growing value of human creativity and judgment.
Will artificial intelligence replace jobs?
AI is most likely to replace repetitive and routine tasks first, while more creative, empathic, and relational roles may remain more resilient.
Will smart glasses replace smartphones?
They could become a major interface of the future if they become lightweight, practical, and natural enough for daily use.
How will XR affect everyday life?
XR could reshape work, communication, education, design, and entertainment by making digital experiences more immersive and interactive.
What is the future of wearable technology?
Wearables may evolve from external devices to smart textiles and, eventually, implantable systems connected to health and human-machine interaction.
Why does sustainability matter in future technology?
Because advanced systems have real environmental costs, from materials to energy use, and innovation must be judged by impact as well as capability.
How should young people prepare for the future of work?
By developing deep skills, staying adaptable, and investing in creativity, specialization, and human-centered capabilities.
