Artificial Intelligence is reshaping business, education, healthcare, and beyond. Yet with its promise come profound challenges: trust, transparency, ethics, and the shifting nature of human work.
Join us for a bold and thought-provoking Apocalypse Pop-Up Café—an interactive ideation session led by Athena Aktipis, Associate Professor of Psychology and Assistant Director of Research at ASU’s Global Futures Lab. Together, we’ll explore how to do business in an age of accelerating AI.
Expect an engaging blend of inspiration, inquiry, and imagination as we:
- Rethink resilience, innovation, and collaboration in an AI-driven world
- Explore intersections of cooperation science, technology ethics, and organizational behavior
- Co-create ideas that spark new research and connections across disciplines
This event is hosted by: W. P. Carey School of Business, Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Lab, Department of Psychology (The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences), and the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics.
