12 Gestures: Experimental Ethics in a Strange World

Thought partnership and ethics training for leadership and design teams making critical choices about AI and robotics.

WaySeeing Ethics

A speaker presents on a stage in a modern auditorium with an audience seated facing the stage. The stage has chairs, a small table, and a large projection screen displaying an abstract colorful 3D geometric design. The auditorium has wood-paneled walls, a patterned ceiling with circular lights, and glass-enclosed upper balcony areas.

Provocative keynotes on philosophy and technology, dripping with aliveness and a sense of humour.
