Explore the complex relationship between technological advancement and human nature in this keynote presentation delivered by Molly J. Crockett from Princeton University's Department of Psychology and University Center for Human Values. Examine the tension between optimistic views of technology's potential and pessimistic assessments of human behavior, while investigating how these perspectives shape our collective vision for the future. Delve into psychological insights about how we conceptualize progress, understand human limitations, and work together to imagine and create the worlds we want to inhabit. Consider the implications of techno-optimism versus human pessimism for policy-making, social structures, and technological development. Gain valuable perspectives on balancing realistic assessments of human nature with hopeful visions of technological possibility, and learn how interdisciplinary approaches combining psychology, ethics, and technology can inform more nuanced discussions about our shared future.
