DESCRIPTION:Dr Nicoletta Iacobacci\nScience-fiction is becoming science-fa
 ct as emerging technologies are increasingly influencing our lives. We are
  experiencing progress like never before and it is already evident that ou
 r civilisation will change so much that its rules and technologies will be
  incomprehensible to the previous generation.\nThe lecture "Exponential Et
 hics" aims to create awareness for positive and not-so-positive consequenc
 es of emerging technologies. Its main goal is to enable a practical curios
 ity on exponentially growing techs\, and prompt a much-needed conversation
  on technology\, philosophy\, and new ethical standards.  This will be th
 e most pioneering decade in history. Exponential technologies will lead to
  exponential innovation. Ethics\, then\, must keep up with the exponential
  progress of technology. Contemporary philosophers should become proactive
 . They should support and push for ethics to leapfrog technological innova
 tion—for ethics to be rebooted.We must strive to take this journey. We m
 ust stay conscious of the risks we’re facing. Most importantly\, we must
  raise a call to action for openly discussing the social repercussions the
 se technologies could have if left only to their “makers.”\nWe must pu
 rsue exponential ethics.\n\nNicoletta Iacobacci\, PhD is an ethical influ
 encer engaging executives\, thinkers\, artists\, innovators\, entrepreneur
 s\, and mainly students in conversations about ethics and emerging technol
 ogies. She’s a journalist and an international speaker. She’s the foun
 der of ethica.ly\, a platform for engaging reflections on consequences of 
 exponential innovations. She currently serves as adjunct professor at Webs
 ter University Geneva\, Switzerland and at Jinan University\, in Guangzhou
 \, China. She is a resident with Rockefeller Foundation\, a curator of TED
 x events\, the Ambassador for Singularity University Geneva and the founde
 r of the ethical framework for Hyperloop Transportation Technology.
