Description

Einstein famously said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Yet, Sam Altman declared we’re entering an ‘Intelligence Age,’ reflecting a future of AI algorithmic determinism that sounds more like a poorly rebranded iteration of the Information Age, drowning in data but devoid of wisdom. Where is human agency in this future? We need radical imagination to envision, choose, and build an equitable future for all. Join this session to discover how to reawaken human agency and transform collective imagination into impact.
