The future promises to be profoundly strange.
Rapid advances in technology, from artificial intelligence to bio- and neuroscience, are very likely to reshape our world in unprecedented ways. What does the world look like after a breakthrough? The answer is that no one really knows. It’s hard, if not almost impossible, to predict the societal implications of technological transformations while we are (and we all are) living through them. We’re bound to play a guessing game with technology, and history shows us that, all too often, society hands over control to profit-driven private actors who rarely ask those big-picture, longer-term questions.
At our premier flagship event, we want to show you how ICFG is setting out to change that. Throughout the day, we’ll be taking a closer look into what policymakers can be doing in 2025 to shape a better world for our present and future generations. Technological transformation comes quickly, much more quickly than people think, and that’s why our theme “Tech Frontiers for Policymakers” is a reflection of today, not of tomorrow.
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, 11 December 2024 for this exclusive premier Flagship Event! Hear from different high-profile institutional officials about what more can be done to make effective long-term decisions on emerging technologies; participate in workshops led by our team of experts from our seven programs, and engage with us in interactive and thought-provoking conversation circles as we talk about the work we do (and why we do them).
This event is by-invite only.
