Governments play essential role in regulating the developments and usage of artificial intelligence. Lacking necessary AI policies, the technology might be misused and backfire in increasing inequality, rise of totalitarian powers, supporting racism biases, etc. But if our politicians have no clue in how the technology works, how are they going to be implemented? This is exactly what The Future Society is about. The “think-and-do-tank” has an extraordinary mission: Advancing the responsible adoption of Artificial Intelligence and other emerging technologies for the benefit of humanity.

However, there might be a new solution leveraging technological innovation to overcome it and build trust through transparency. Paul Allard, the CEO of Impak Finance, is revealing the company's secret weapon to measure the impact of companies and organizations and provide investors and the public with a transparent and reliable scoring.

Is technology & digitalization threatening our democracies? Cambridge Analytica has already shown us once how the free internet can be used against its users. However, some people use artificial intelligence to prevent the exact same thing happening. One of them is Daniyal Shahrokhian, a Deep Learning enthusiast that worked on algorithms that discovered digital manipulation. However, according to him, not all issues have a technical workaround, and maybe the reason lies in the nature of how our minds work in a deeper philosophical sense...
