ISSA TRAP: the future isn’t just a connected fridge
Technology is shaping our society and culture - but what kind of future do we want to build?
The driving force of the future isn’t about connected fridges or fancy home technologies, but the seemingly invisible technologies powering the things you don’t see.
New but invisible technologies like automated decisions and machine learning are influencing industries like banking, advertising, healthcare and security. Understanding the impact of these technologies will be crucial to helping people navigate society in the future.
