Master and Servant
How will the new power game unfold? Our Topic 2019
The Powers are Shifting – Who will be the New Masters?
With unprecedented computing power at our hands, the balance of power has started shifting again. Will today’s establishment become stronger, and gain control over artificial intelligence and big data – and over the rest of us?
Or will revolutionaries use the new technologies to dismantle existing structures, just like the hippies did with the personal computer, and their heirs did with the internet? Who will be master, who will be servant?
