Fostering a dialogue about our digital future
The internet, smartphones and the recent emergence of Generative AI are all examples of disruptive technologies. They often begin as niche (luxury) products or services but gradually evolve into essential components of our infrastructure. Hereby, significantly influencing our personal lives and society. Due to (1) the recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence, (2) our growing reliance on technology and its governance challenges, and (3) the realization that commercial interests often diverge from the public good, the necessity to incorporate public values into our digital infrastructure is more urgent than ever. Therefore, to reclaim our agency, this evening will be about fostering a dialogue about our digital future. We will discuss why it is necessary to integrate public values into our digital infrastructure, reflect on why and which public values are deemed important, and provide a hopeful perspective by zooming in on some tangible initiatives that make the path forward more concrete. Join us for an inspiring evening where we aim to open the conversation about shaping our digital future.
