This event is part of the Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship, and is open for all to attend.
Is social media unleashing democracy or destroying it? Will artificial intelligence unlock new opportunities for the world’s poorest, or will it reinforce bias and inequality? Technology is undoubtedly changing the world, but how do we ensure that change is for the better?
Join us for the second annual Skoll World Forum Debate in an unparalleled setting, the Oxford Union’s legendary debating chamber. Six silver-tongued provocateurs will engage in a lively British parliamentary-style debate on the motion, 'This house believes that "tech for good" is a false promise.'
This event is run by the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship, in partnership with the Oxford Union debating society, this is a quintessentially Oxonian experience and not to be missed!
Speakers include:
Tanya O'Carroll, Amnesty Tech
Sean Hinton, Open Society Foundations
Dr Mariarosaria Taddeo, Oxford Internet Institute
Chi Nnadi, Sela Technologies
Tom Adams, Acumen
Shashi Buluswar, Institute for Transformative Technologies
There is no registration required, please simply come along and find a seat. The debate will start at 15:30.
Live-streaming
The debate will be broadcast live from the chamber via Periscope on the Skoll Centre’s Twitter (@SkollCentre). Tune in to watch at 3.30pm GMT+1 (UK time)
