Exponential: how accelerating technology is leaving us behind and what to do about it
As technology accelerates, the human mind struggles to keep up - and our companies, workplaces, and democracies get left behind. This is the exponential gap.
Leading technologist, Azeem Azhar, in conversation with Professor Ian Goldin, will explain how this exponential gap is rewiring business and society. Exploring corporations and the workplace, diplomacy and big tech, Azeem will make sense of a period of dizzyingly fast change - and reveals how we should respond.
This talk is live in person at the Oxford Martin School, 34 Broad Street, and also online. Please register using the following links:
