'Who am I?' is one of the most fundamental questions of all. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to answer as technology enables us to negotiate and create many different versions of ourselves.
In this webinar, Tracey Follows will be joining London Futurists to explore how our personal identity, freedoms, and potential will be transformed over the coming decades.
In our digital, data-driven world, Facebook gets a say in verifying who we are, science can alter our biology, and advances in AI are revolutionizing not only how we interact online but with the physical world around us. Understanding and defining ourselves is becoming confusing.
From health passports, bio-hacking, and relationships with machines, to mind clones, digital voting, and virtual legacies beyond the grave, we need to understand these vital issues today so that we might design the future of our identity tomorrow.
Drawing on themes from her forthcoming new book "The Future of You", Tracey will suggest how we can preserve our autonomy whilst embracing this new era of transformation. Digital technology is causing us to think differently about who we are and who we could become, but with the right knowledge we can turn this incredible capacity to our advantage.
