In this episode we continue our explorations in view of the Summit of the Future. The Summit of the Future (in 2024) will be a key moment to reaffirm and recommit to effective multilateralism in the interest of both people and the planet.
But how do we set out to redesign multilateralism and craft the future we all want in our era of ultra-rapid technological change? And how do we factor in our decisions of today the interests of future generations? Can we still rely solely on classical forms of decision making? Can we trust AI and other emerging technologies to remain tools at our service instead of becoming our masters?
We talk with Konrad Seifert who is the co-founder of the Simon Institute. He also co-founded and led Effective Altruism Switzerland, developing theories of change and looking at the future beyond the current generation.
