Rhodes Forum on Technology & Society 2023
Embracing a new era of technology, the second annual iteration of the Rhodes Forum on Technology and Society delved into the heart of purpose-driven technology in the 21st Century, where impact has value for people, the environment and society. In an age where technological strides continuously redefine our boundaries, the 2023 Forum sought to unravel the interplay between innovation and intention.
Forum Highlights
The world is changing fast. AI handles everything from simple tasks to creative feats, biotech is revolutionising healthcare, and technology is reshaping defence strategies. In this era of rapid progress, we're shifting the focus from just speed and size to a technology with a clear sense of purpose.
