About this masterclass
What determines whether a technology uplifts or disrupts? This question has never been more urgent. As AI evolves at an unprecedented pace, the choices we make—as educators, creators, and users—carry greater weight than ever before. The future of AI isn’t just about what it can do, but what we choose to do with it. In this talk, we will take a step back and look at how technologies of the past have shaped society—sometimes for the better, sometimes for worse. We will also explore how we can learn from those examples and steer AI towards the collective good of humanity.
