The World A Labyrinth Under Surveillance?

Global Threats to Individual Liberty

&  The Rule of Law 

 



Wednesday 19 January – 7:00 pm
Maison des Polytechnicienc

 

In these times of upheaval and change, how do people across the world challenge,
preserve, uphold or save their Individual Liberty? 
 
 
Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to generate productivity gains, improve well-being and help solve complex challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity and health crises. Yet, AI raises many important questions related to human values, our individual freedom and the bases of democracy.  Should we accept a world where humans abdicate their autonomy and sense of responsibility.  Can there be rights without democracy?  How are our thinking processes being altered?  How should we educate our children?  Are there solutions?
 
In the past ten years, Philosopher and Author Gaspard Koenig has travelled across the world several times to meet leading actors of civilization changes, 
, inventors, innovators, hackers, geeks, startup founders, AI gurus, dissidents, political figures at opposite ends of the spectrum, and the everyday individual, reflecting on the challenges of our modern world, its virtues and its threats.  His journeys have taken him from the Silicon Valley to China, from India to Africa, from Peru to Finland, from Canada to Israel, throughout Europe.  Last year, in his quest for liberty and a more natural life, he traveled on horseback, across France, Germany and Italy. 


 
 
Taken aback by countries where ‘Black Mirror’ is already a reality, by a world increasingly dominated by rules and regulations, where humans seem  caught in an infernal labyrinth, Gaspard Koenig argues the need to regain control of our destiny and individual freedom.
