The past few days at SXSW in Austin, TX have been a whirlwind—full of some mind-blowing futurist insights. My brain’s buzzing with the implications of all of it. Here are a few gems: - The robot era is here. - By 2030, commercial humanoid robots will be taking on jobs we can’t (or won’t) fill- and maybe even lending a hand at home if you can swing it. - Just last week, an AI model taught a robot how to tie shoelaces. Yep, shoelaces. The human skill behind it is insanely complex. Why does all this matter? Think about the future of business: Who are we really marketing to? It won’t be just the human behind the screen-it may be a bot making or influencing the purchasing decision or the company who makes the bot, not the end user. Also, the way we communicate, full of nuance and context, is something AI still struggles with. And when you code human language into a machine, things can go wildly off track. Remember, we humans are important – WE HAVE JUDGMENT. This is but a tiny bite of the big picture implications coming soon to our world… ????♂???

?? The future of mental health and substance use care is being shaped today. Standing at the podium at the Steinberg Institute Vision 2030 Solutions Symposium today in Sacramento, I was honored to join a room full of visionaries, changemakers, and advocates who are committed to driving real, systemic change in California’s behavioral health landscape. As Board Chair of the Steinberg Institute, I am deeply invested in the mission to modernize and strengthen California’s behavioral health workforce and reduce homelessness and ensure fewer individuals with mental illness enter our criminal justice system. These are not just goals—they are imperatives for a healthier, more just society. Thank you to everyone who participated in today’s critical discussions. Let’s move forward with urgency, collaboration, and commitment to the work ahead. #MentalHealthLeadership #Vision2030 #BehavioralHealthReform #SteinbergInstitute
