Topics 2019 - Future of Human Existence

The age we live in is changing at dizzying pace. Some claim we are on the verge of a tectonic shift triggered by climate change, digitalization and disruption of the “old normal”.

What does it mean for us? How will this new era reshape the way we live and work, how will it influence the generations to come and what’s our role in this brave new world?

We are in a unique position to harness the potential and mitigate risks of our future existence, presuppose we embark on this journey with proactive and open mindset.

How? When? That’s what FTRNW Conference 2019 is all about.

Security Headache

Cybersecurity & AI - Spread of Misinformation

With Internet increasingly permeating all aspects of our lives, the rise of cybercrime has been inevitable. In cyberspace, applications of AI can protect us as well as make us more vulnerable than ever. Security and data breaches have been on the rise, affecting individuals and companies alike.
