​In Tech We Trust

​The god-like authority of technology in the modern age – and what it means to set a wiser course

​To mark the launch of the fifth paper in the Second Renaissance series, join us for a live roundtable discussion with the authors and invited experts in AI and social transformation.*

​In Tech We Trust argues that technology has become more than a tool — it has become a cultural authority. In late modernity, tech is not simply something we use; it is something we trust, revere, and unconsciously organise our world around.

​This roundtable will open a timely conversation:

• ​Has technology become a kind of modern “god”?

• ​How do modern assumptions — individualism, rationalism, materialism, and the myth of progress — shape our relationship with AI?

• ​What might it mean to shift from out-of-control technological acceleration towards collective restraint?

• ​Can a worldview grounded in interbeing — the recognition of radical interdependence — support wiser choices about the forces we unleash?

​Rather than focusing only on governance, the discussion will examine the cultural paradigm shaping our technological era — and the inner capacities needed to navigate it well.

​Who should attend? Leaders, technologists, policymakers, educators, and anyone asking: What kind of humanity are we becoming in the age of AI?

​This webinar is an opportunity to engage directly with the authors and fellow participants in a rich, multi-perspective dialogue about technology, collective action, and the cultural transformation our time demands.

​Join us as we ask not only what AI can do — but who we must become to live well with it.
