During this talk
Today’s world is very complex and we call for "innovation". The idea that we have of innovation though comes from philosophy and practices that are neither sustainable nor responsible. Technology is often pushed onto problems as if is the only possible answer. But is it? Only 10 years ago Facebook was revered as life-changing tech, now the same very platform is feared as a form of surveillance capitalism. We definitely went behind the hacker culture that brought tech to the masses. The problems we face often are not easy to tackle. The technology developed to solve problems, or bring innovation, sometimes opens more issues than it solves. What can we do as a student and scientists? How can we still make an impact without falling for the innovation hype?
We need to collaborate beyond disciplines. How can we work together then?
In this talk, our speaker Cristina Zaga is going to present how DesignLab is trying to bring scientists and people together to design the society of the future. She is going to introduce the methods that are developed at DesignLab and discuss it at large with the audience through the lenses of everyday life examples: the Facebook case, the Climate change case and the Immigration case. Don’t believe the innovation hype, act for a responsible future!
