Purpose Connections: Purpose and AI - Transforming the Economy
About this event
AI is just one of the many great disruptors of our time. Alongside the rewriting of geopolitical structures and norms, the accelerating impacts of climate change driven by an extractive, profit-focused economy, and growing social polarization, a key question stands out: Can AI be harnessed as a force for good to help build a purpose-driven economy?
With the concentration of technology in the hands of a few tech lords, and massive disruption stretching from traditional roles and businesses to energy-hungry data centres, it’s important to consider how AI can help without causing harm.
Join this free, one-hour online gathering, organized by Sparx Publishing Group and Tessa Vanderkop, purpose advisor, trainer, and community builder, to explore AI’s role in powering a purpose-driven economy. Bring your ideas to the open discussion and gain insights from experts, Carlota de Paula Coelho, Senior Policy Manager at B Lab and EFRAG TEG Member, and Dr. Ron Dembo, Founder and CEO of Riskthinking.ai.
