‘Reconnecting with the Sacred in a Technology-Driven World’ - Saïd Business School's annual Rewley Lecture
Join Saïd Business School for the annual Rewley Lecture with guest speakers Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, and Evan Sharp, co-founder of Pinterest.
They’ll tackle how we integrate technology with magic, the divine, and ‘ancient technologies’ such as prayer and ritual, before returning to the practical, giving their views on how we can engage, interact and leverage AI to allow people to live more purposeful, richer lives. They’ll also consider the lessons learned from Twitter and Pinterest and how these companies brought them together to the path they’re on now and led them to the approach they have towards their pioneering work on AI.
