Key thinkers discuss both the tech culture and tech in culture‘We as individuals I think are questioning our relationship with technology, especially when we see it used with children’
‘If there’s an experience that you wouldn’t do in the real world, not because it was dangerous or because it was expensive, but it was the kind of thing that you would feel bad about yourself, you wouldn’t be able to look yourself in the mirror that night, or you couldn’t hug your spouse, if there’s that kind of experience that just makes you feel gross, then don’t do it in VR.’
‘When we’re studying psychology, just the human mind and the human brain, we’re so far off from machines being able to generate useful hypotheses yet. I don’t think there’s any example even of that ever happening. The hypotheses come from humans.’

Key thinkers discuss health and technology‘Health data can be used for purposes beyond individual care.’
‘When it comes to health data, unlike other data that we share, you know, social media and so on, your health data is collected in the context of a very trusted relationship between the doctor and the patient. It’s characterised by confidentiality, that is the absolute bedrock of our healthcare system – you have to be able to trust that when you are talking to your doctor, that information is being held in confidence…so your health data is very sensitive, people feel very protective over it. And so I do think it does feel slightly different to other forms of data.’
‘To use the power and the influence that patients have and the desperation patients have to power through and make tech our servant in finding a way through.’
‘My data will be pooled with that of everybody else using the app. And that will be de-identified in a secure database, and aggregated, and made freely available to any qualified glioblastoma medical researcher in the world. And as we know increasingly, patient data is the sort-of medical currency of our age. It’s very problematic in many areas, and many people are trying to crack this nut. The way that we’re cracking it, and we think this has a good chance of working, is that it’s going to be patients taking charge of their data, patients accessing it, and patients making the decisions.’
‘The solution for people like me lies absolutely in the human, but also absolutely in the tech.’

Key thinkers discuss the internet and what MIT labs have been working on…‘In the modern world, you can work without air conditioning, and you can work without sewage, but you literally cannot work without the internet’
‘We could build a system in which you can sign up, you can create an avatar, you can train that avatar, and that avatar can start voting on the things that the Congress in your country is voting on’
‘Unfortunately, it’s sort of flattering to be called rational and in charge of yourself, and so it’s really taken off and it’s the way policy makers, business people, everybody thinks about humans – but of course humans are really elements of a network, it’s the social fabric that matters.’
