The #polymath #festival is coming up and I'll be speaking on 26th August in a panel that makes me rather excited on "Towards an Interdisciplinary Education System". Big topic, but discussing this with Carl Gombrich and Ashish Jaiswal, it can't but be inspiring for all of us by The DaVinci Network

What if AI is changing not just business and our lives, but the very way we understand the world? Renowned author and internet thinker @weinberger.org joins me on the Road to Accountable AI to discuss the deeper human implications of AI.
