Technological change is at the core of all major disruptions in human history, and revolutions, wars, and general development are regularly connected to some sort of technological change. However, not all development is beneficial. While technology has fuelled great innovations and rapid development, the notion of sustainable development has gained prominence as we now experience serious social, economic, environmental challenges.
This conference explores whether technology can be used to fix the very problems caused by technology, and encompasses social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
Potential topics of interest:
- the materiality of AI and other technologies,
- technology in education,
- decency of work and technology
- AI for gender equality,
- sustainability and innovation,
- technology, inclusion, and the digital divide,
- how technology relates to power,
- technology, politics, and the market,
- technology governance.
Contributions are expected to engage with technological change, sustainable development, and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
