Culture and in collaboration with Dr. Dacher Keltner, Co-Director of the Greater Good Science Center based at the University of California Berkeley. Together we will examine the latest science on the benefits for the mind and body in finding experiences of awe in nature focused contemplation.
In this session, Professor Keltner will share the deep Indigenous origins of nature focused contemplation, and how important this wisdom is for our times today to meet the climate and health crises. He will detail the latest approaches in building more awe and nature focused contemplation in cities, schools, hospitals, and public spaces and will guide us in several awe and nature focused contemplations.

AI for Humanity - Philanthropy's Role in Shaping a Better Future
Virtual Session, October 3, 8:30AM PT/5:30PM CET
As AI continues to shape our world, philanthropy has a critical role to play in ensuring AI leads to improved social and environmental outcomes for people and the planet. Join us for a roundtable discussion on AI for humanity, where we will explore how philanthropy can play a crucial role in building a future where AI empowers humanity, uplifts marginalized communities, and creates positive change on a global scale.

We will be joined by Daniel Barcay, Executive Director of Center for Humane Technology (CHT) - a non-profit organization whose mission is to realign technology with humanity’s best interests. CHT is dedicated to changing the incentive structures behind harmful technology development and deployment through mainstream public awareness, education of policymakers and technologists, and driving people to revisit their relationships with technology and take wise action.

We highly recommend you watch this latest version of The AI Dilemma (over 3.4 million views) before our session and we look forward to engaging in a fruitful dialogue. The session will take place online and a recording will be made available for those unable to attend the live discussion.
