There is a lot we know with certainty about technological and environmental change. Artificial intelligence, automation, synthetic biology, climate change, and so on, will transform the ways we work, move, eat, play and interact. We know what is on the horizon but we don’t always know what this will mean for day-to-day life or how best to prepare for it. In this presentation I will explore what technological and environmental change means for all of us (but for young people especially), how we can take charge of it, where jobs are really likely to emerge, and why we need the insights of humanities and social sciences.
