What are Tech Talks @ UvH?

Rapid changes to our technological landscape have challenged the human and planetary condition. Algorithms, databases, artificial intelligence, and other digital infrastructures animate the very basis of contemporary life and impact the near future. Recent research around technology ranges from utopic optimism to threatening dangers, and a call for a pause. Making sense of the intertwined realm of technology requires reassessing some of the most fundamental questions of human endeavour. Tech Talks @ UvH welcomes fresh, multi-disciplinary perspectives into this enquiry. What does it mean to live meaningfully with technology? How (if at all) can technology co-create opportunities for well-being? How do we imagine a just and caring society with these technological advances?
