<a href="https://politik.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Politik</a> is proud to present the long-awaited third chapter of Interzone I the genesis of an ethical digital blueprint for the post-pandemic economy. This year’s gathering will be held online on December 1, 2 and 3 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM PDT and will bring together socially conscious digital leaders from government, technology and enterprise to explore the purpose of humankind in the new millennium. We hope you will join us on our path towards an enlightened future built on the endless possibilities of technology-driven innovation.###The PROGRAM.“Technology is amoral, but it requires humanistic values to steer it in a way that's empowering, and not detrimental to social progress. It's up to us to maximize the good and minimize the bad.” - Ro KhannaTuesday, December 1 We are in the early stages of a new economic system that fundamentally thrives on the sharing and open distribution of physical, intellectual and artistic resources. The proliferation of closed and privately-held intellectual property no longer provides the greatest value to any conceivable group of stakeholders. Political and economic power is rapidly shifting from centuries-old centralized institutions to more agile, adaptable and distributed socio-economic frameworks. And, yet these innovative frameworks are rapidly acquired and controlled by the same power structures and further entrenched in oligarchic incumbencies.Will the utopia of democratized technologies drive equality and opportunity, or will it merely be the case of one ruling class replacing another; with incumbency and inequality further entrenched by the ever-increasing dominion of technology?Hosted byKOLEYA KARRINGTEN I CEO of Absolute Combustion | Executive Director of the Canadian Blockchain ConsortiumFeaturingJOSH CRUMB I Founder of GoldMoney, BitGold, Mene and AbaxxJOSHUA MCKENTY I Co-Founder of OpenStack, Piston Cloud and EQ LabsTOM RAFTERY I Global VP, Futurist and Innovation Evangelist at SAPANN ROSENBERG I Global Program Lead for #SheInnovates at UN WomenCHELSEA RUSTRUM I Co-Founder of Instigation Protocol and Alchemy Spaces###Wednesday, December 2 The hyper-acceleration of innovation over the last 30 years has seen technology move from the narrow confines of the largest governments and corporations, to become an integral part of all aspects of human endeavour, across its various manifestations in individual interactions, economic organization and social structures. This miracle, however, is tempered with an unwritten requirement that participation in modern society requires the voluntary yet uninformed relinquishment of privacy and that the vast majority of humanity are passive consumers of new truths controlled by the very people who control access to the technologies.Can we restore access to and control over technology back to the people it was designed to serve, or will innovation remain an amoral force without an ethical core; subject to the imagination of the cabalistic technocracy who design, control and prosper from it?Hosted bySOPHIE ALCORN I Founder of Community for Global Innovation | Cybersecurity Contributor at TechCrunchFeaturingMICHELLE DENNEDY I Former CEO of Drumwave I Former Chief Privacy Officer at Cisco, Intel Security and McAfeeROHIT GHAI I CEO of RSA SecurityBRENT HOMAN I Deputy Commissioner at the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of CanadaTIM MCCREIGHT I Chief Security Officer at the City of CalgaryCAROLINE WONG I Chief Strategy Officer at Cobalt###Thursday, December 3 Artificial Intelligence is leading to the fundamental reengineering of all aspects of our human experience and how we as a species interact with our universe. The inequalities, incumbencies and biases of the innovators designing AI have a direct impact on how the technology guides human information, perception and action. As AI leads society to the next phase of human evolution, it is becoming increasingly more evident that we are at risk of creating a future in the flawed image of her maker; and, perhaps a blueprint constructed from nothing more than glorified digital eugenics. Can we create an intelligence that is not constrained by the limitations and prejudices of its creators to have AI serve all humanity, or will it become the latest and most powerful tool for perpetuating and magnifying racism and inequality?Hosted by JOHN KOETSIER I AI Contributor at Forbes and Business InsiderFeaturingBEENA AMMANATH I Executive Director of the Deloitte AI Institute | Founder of Humans for AIANIMA ANANDKUMA I Executive Director of Machine Learning Research at NVIDIADR.
