Order Amid Chaos:
Major Trends Shaping the Future of Technology, Business, Culture and Society
Digital technology is amplifying and accelerating how we interact with each other and the world around us, rapidly changing how societies govern themselves. Optimists welcome this shift, arguing that technology is gradually maturing and headed in an overall positive direction. Are they right? What are the most important trends, both existing and emergent, and how can we prepare for them? What are the specific ways in which technological change is improving our individual and collective lives? How do larger global shifts affect smaller countries? How is this shift affecting the workforce, productivity, and the nature of leadership? How is the new public sphere shaping elections, news, and government? We’ll examine current trends including the new automation revolution and how emerging AI tools can be harnessed by developing countries. Join us for a stimulating dialogue exploring the possibilities and pitfalls of technology as we race towards humanity’s digital future.
Moderated by William Powers, author, journalist and technologist.
