He also shares his passion for IT during his broadcasts on 702 and Cape Talkand previously on CNBC Africa’s weekly technology show, ‘Tech Busters’. On the corporate stage, his talk in the business skills arena – “Disruptions’ – illustrates how – because technology is evolving at such a blistering pace – businesses are struggling to keep up with this tsunami of change, and he explores these challenges by making sense of the technologies hurtling towards us. He says: “We are moving towards a society that will be automated by robotics and humans will be replaced by technology. What will be the impact to humanity be in the coming decades?” One of the first South African personalities to use Twitter, Aki continues to lead in this field and is consistently ranked as one of the most influential Twitter users – Cosmopolitan, which named him one of their Twitter Kings.
