ABOUT THE SESSION
Will technology remove our senses?
4 OCT · Impact Stage · 12:55
We live in a civilisation of endless stimulation and ever less nourishment. Screens, feeds and now AI companions compete for the one thing that leads to everything: our senses. Drawing on his new book 'Senseless - AI & the fight for the free mind', physician and bestselling author Imran Rashid shows how commercial technology has colonized the channels through which we feel, focus and connect, and why the answer is not more willpower but better design and responsible regulation. A talk about what we lose when everything becomes effortless, and how to take it back.
ABOUT THE SESSION

4 OCT · Vision Stage · 15:45
AI can already read a scan faster than a radiologist and answer a worried patient at three in the morning. So what is left for the doctor? This panel takes the question seriously rather than sentimentally. Where do machines outperform clinicians, where will they never reach, and why are presence, touch and trust not soft extras but part of the treatment itself? Expect disagreement.
