Rethinking AI Futures: Timescaping with 22nd Century Hub
If AI ethics were woven into the fabric of society by the year 2125, what kind of world might emerge? And what assumptions are we holding today that shape or limit how we imagine the future?
Join us for an edition of Timescaping, facilitated by Cristian Boscheri from 22nd Century Hub. We’ll imagine long-term futures through playful and speculative exercises, focusing on AI and ethics. It’ll be a dynamic and participatory session.
For whom?
This session is for anyone curious about AI, ethics and long-term futures. Including, but not limited to, AI professionals, students, designers, policy makers, entrepreneurs and researchers. Whether you work on or study AI or are just fascinated by how AI could evolve within society, we want to offer a space where we can let critical thinking meet with radical imagination.
Previous participants of a Timescaping session say they walked away with:
A mental reset for long-term thinking
A chance to connect with others outside their bubble
A way to think differently, beyond the analytical
Fresh insight into their own values and assumptions
