In this in-depth session, we explore the rise of artificial intelligence and its impact on the future of work, creativity, and society. This talk challenges common assumptions and surfaces the most urgent ethical questions emerging in business and technology today. Topics include AI’s role in healthcare, education, automation, ownership, and surveillance—and whether the power behind these tools should be democratized or controlled.

We unpack the historical, institutional, and philosophical parallels of today’s AI moment—from the printing press and the LLC to the Church’s control over literacy—and reflect on how decisions being made right now will shape the world we live in tomorrow.
