Susannah de Jager: We're living through
one of the most significant periods of

00:00:04.516 --> 00:00:06.616
technological change in human history.

00:00:06.946 --> 00:00:11.626
Artificial intelligence, genomics,
robotics, quantum technologies, and

00:00:11.626 --> 00:00:16.306
increasingly powerful data systems are
rapidly moving from research laboratories

00:00:16.306 --> 00:00:18.556
into every aspect of our daily lives.

00:00:19.156 --> 00:00:23.209
They will shape how we work, how we
learn, and even how we understand

00:00:23.209 --> 00:00:24.469
what it means to be human.

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.949
Yet, while the pace of innovation
accelerates, many of the most

00:00:27.949 --> 00:00:31.189
important questions are not
technical, they are ethical.

00:00:31.939 --> 00:00:36.049
How do we ensure technology
serves society rather than society

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:37.789
becoming subject to technology?

00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:41.779
And perhaps most importantly,
what does progress actually mean?

00:00:42.529 --> 00:00:46.923
In this special Oxford + mini series,
we're going to speak to leading academics,

00:00:46.983 --> 00:00:51.003
policymakers, entrepreneurs, and
practitioners working at the intersection

00:00:51.273 --> 00:00:54.063
of ethics, technology, and society.

00:00:54.753 --> 00:00:57.813
Together, we're going to explore
questions including how should we

00:00:57.813 --> 00:00:59.703
govern powerful new technologies?

00:00:59.913 --> 00:01:03.033
What does human flourishing
look like in the age of AI?

00:01:03.423 --> 00:01:07.623
How is technology shaping childhood,
relationships, and mental health?

00:01:08.253 --> 00:01:12.813
And how can innovation ecosystems ensure
that prosperity is shared more broadly?

00:01:13.653 --> 00:01:16.653
Oxford is uniquely placed
to host these conversations.

00:01:17.043 --> 00:01:20.763
Few places bring together world-leading
expertise in science, medicine,

00:01:20.813 --> 00:01:24.383
philosophy, public policy, and
entrepreneurship in quite the same way.

00:01:24.683 --> 00:01:28.995
The aim of this miniseries is not to
provide definitive answers, rather to

00:01:28.995 --> 00:01:31.285
help all of us ask better questions.

00:01:31.765 --> 00:01:35.485
Because the future is not something
that simply happens to us, it's

00:01:35.485 --> 00:01:37.389
something we can choose to build.

00:01:37.889 --> 00:01:42.299
Ethics and innovation, a mini series
by Oxford Plus, is proudly sponsored by

00:01:42.299 --> 00:01:45.119
Equinox, Equitable Innovation Oxford.

00:01:45.749 --> 00:01:50.249
Equinox brings together leaders from
across business, academia, local

00:01:50.249 --> 00:01:55.679
government, and civil society to ensure
that the benefits of Oxford's remarkable

00:01:55.679 --> 00:02:00.899
innovation ecosystem are shared more
widely across communities helping to

00:02:00.899 --> 00:02:05.555
create more inclusive, sustainable,
and equitable future for the region.

00:02:06.048 --> 00:02:07.608
Really excited to bring you more.
