What are the limits of what we can do with AI? Will there be a role for humans in the future? For how many humans? Can we all find a place in society?
In the context of this year’s focus on hope, this talk describes a future with near-universal acknowledgement of all residents roles in constituting states and their government, as well as those entities that give us employment. I then look more specifically on what this means for journalism and academia. While basing some arguments in established theory and data, this talk will also include speculation to help frame and further a discussion we must all be having, including later in the same day. As the world hurtles towards and through another period of emergency measures, this time to navigate the climate crisis, we are likely to come out the other side with more knowledge of ourselves than ever before. What will be the upshot?
