Future Ethics with Cennydd Bowles

Technology is disrupting our world at unimaginable speed. Its impact on society is often unforeseen, both for good and for bad. In this episode of Old Fox Young Fox, Designer, futurist and author Cennydd Bowles helps us navigate this moral maze together.

Questions posed include:

  • Do Tech companies and individuals have any moral or ethical responsibility for the impact of their technologies?
  • How does society protect itself when we have neither the knowledge or technical expertise to understand what’s going on?
  • Has the battle already been lost?

About the show:

Old Fox Young Fox is an intergenerational conversation between Jeremy Woolwich and Oliver Happy, one that explores the impacts of a rapidly changing world.
