Future, Rewired explores the impact of artificial intelligence, digital acceleration, and technological dependence on human behavior, creativity, and decision-making. We will examine how these shifts are shaping our mental well-being, social connections, and sense of identity in an increasingly automated world. The theme also addresses the environmental and ethical consequences of progress, from climate change and resource depletion to questions of responsibility, sustainability, and accountability in innovation. Through conversations spanning technology, business, psychology, activism, and culture, Future, Rewired invites us to reflect on the direction our choices are taking us and the kind of future we are choosing to build.
