Erica Orange
Futurist
Erica Orange is a globally recognized futurist and author focused on the intersection of technological change and what it means to be human. Her goal is to help people confront one of the defining questions of our time: As the world accelerates, what must we strengthen within ourselves?
As the author of “AI + The New Human Frontier,” Orange explores how exponential change reshapes decision-making, culture and identity — and what it takes to lead with clarity when the ground keeps shifting. Her work centers on three capacities that no disruption can take away: agency, identity and wisdom — the inner resources that determine not just how we perform, but who we become.
Her work has been featured in Wired, Politico, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist and CBS This Morning. She has also been recognized as one of the world’s “Top 50 Female Futurists.”
