An Evening With Saurabh Sinha and John Reid : 24 Sept

Bridging Cultures and Disciplines: The Role of Technology in Shaping Future Societies 

This talk will recap the evolution of the Industrial Revolutions, from the Fourth to the anticipated Fifth. Each revolution, driven by technology, impacts society in both positive and negative ways. Saurabh will explore the societal effects of technologies like Artificial Intelligence, examining their dual nature. The discussion will address how society, and particularly higher education, should prepare graduates to thrive and lead in a changing workforce. We’ll consider the contribution of arts, humanities, and social sciences in shaping technological innovations for society.
