Rhodes Forum on Technology & Society 2024
There are a multitude of reasons to be optimistic about the future; the third annual Rhodes Forum on Technology & Society will bring together visionaries from the realms of science, technology, arts, and social innovation to discuss ground-breaking developments that paint a hopeful picture of tomorrow.

Through a series of keynotes, panel talks, and interactive sessions, the Forum will delve into the profound impacts of technology on society, and empower participants to explore, debate, and forge pathways toward a future where technology enhances societal well-being and global sustainability.

Join us at Rhodes House, Oxford or online on 2 November to hear how: – cutting-edge technology can transform infrastructure and public spaces to create environments that are not only more efficient but also more inclusive and participatory. – rising life expectancy in wealthier nations impacts social systems such as healthcare and pensions, requiring significant shifts in workforce strategies and elder care solutions. – the rise of commercial activity in space can help equitably and sustainably manage and conserve Earth’s resources. – AI can be a tool to empower people to build more productive and meaningful lives, rather than a threat to livelihoods.
