FUTURE DIALOGUES | Dialogue 3: The future of technology

Following the kick-off of the Future Dialogues on March 1, 2022 on the topic of business, UniKasselTransfer, Staatstheater Kassel and Scientists for Future - Kassel are once again inviting all citizens to a dialog between science, art and society. This time, the topic is technology.

Is technology the answer to all our questions or the cause of many problems? From material sciences and machines to artificial intelligence - technology is characterized by rapid development that we encounter in all areas of life. Be it ultra-light and water-repellent sportswear, mobile working during the coronavirus pandemic or wind power. Many successful solutions to problems are based on new technologies. However, these solutions often also give rise to new problems, such as microplastics in the oceans, stress symptoms caused by communication overload or, as is currently visible, economic dependencies due to internationally networked, high-tech supply chains and energy networks.

What can technology actually do? How can it support us and when do technologies present us with social or geopolitical problems? These and other questions will be addressed by the citizens and the following guests:
- Prof. Dr. phil. Jörn Lamla (University of Kassel)
- Jan-Philipp Stroscher (LOEWE center emergenCITY)
- Thorleifur Örn Arnasson (director, Temple project of the Staatstheater Kassel)

The event will take place under the applicable corona rules.
