Amy Webb(V)
- Additional Crew
Amy Webb is a futurist who serves on a script consultant for films and shows about technology and the future. She is a member of the Television Academy (Emerging Media Platform Group - previous Blue Ribbon Emmy award judge).
Regarded as one of the most important voices on the futures of technology (with specializations in both AI and synthetic biology), Amy is the author of four books, including the international bestseller The Big Nine and her most recent, The Genesis Machine, which was listed as one of the best nonfiction books of 2022 by The New Yorker. To date, her books have been translated into 19 languages. One of her books is being adapted for a feature film.
As founder and CEO of the Future Today Institute (FTI), Amy pioneered a unique quantitative modeling approach and data-driven foresight methodology that identifies signals of change and emerging patterns very early. Using that information, Amy and her colleagues identify white spaces, opportunities and threats early enough for action. They develop predictive scenarios, along with executable strategy, for their global client base. In addition to her work on films, shows and interactive entertainment, Amy is regularly asked to advise policymakers in the White House, Congress, US regulatory agencies, the European Union and United Nations.
In 2023, Amy was recognized as the #4 most influential management thinker in the world by Thinkers50, a biannual ranking of global business thinkers. She was also featured on the 2021 Thinkers 50 list, was shortlisted for the 2021 Digital Thinking Award, and received the 2017 Thinkers50 Radar Award. Forbes called Amy "one of the five women changing the world" and she was honored as one of the BBC's 100 Women of 2020.
