​Human Change House

​How will children raised by technology change our society?

​The Human Change House returns to Davos — a space that has become known for asking big questions about where humanity is headed amid the race for AI dominance and the current impact to children. As technology continues to shape our world, it is imperative that we question the business incentives behind AI models and ensure that we use these systems to promote humanity’s best interests.
