About this event

Innovation is an integral part of science, but is it always good?

Join ethics and technology expert Jeroen van den Hoven as he explores how to make sure our innovations and new technologies serve the public interest in a systematic way, and help to address the grand challenges of society, including climate change, energy transition, and global health infrastructure.

For example, how can we design AI applications responsibly?

Jeroen will demonstrate how being bound by moral values can in fact be an economic advantage, providing a comprehensive view on the world that opens up new options not available to others.

In a high tech world, the systematic and meticulous attention to design seems the only way to bring our moral values to bear on how technology shapes of life world.
