Life Calling and its founder, John Mack, supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies and the U.S. Embassy, to present a Forum on June 13, 2023 | 13:00-17:30 pm

LONDON, June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the initial launch of Life Calling's immersive exhibition, A Species Between Worlds: Our Nature Our Screens at London Design Biennale, Founder and artist, provocateur and global lecturer, John Mack will host The Global Game: Remapping our Nature in the Digital Age at London Design Biennale for A.I. thought-leadership Forum at Somerset House on June 13, at blank time.

This afternoon Forum of thought-leadership programming is focused on the rising tide of AI and the urgent need to empower what it means to be human.

Following his recent US address at Stanford University's Institute for Human-Centred AI in California, John Mack and his non-profit, Life Calling, will take the London stage with lectures and discussion exploring the human relationship with existing and emerging digital technologies. Themed "AI will never surpass our humanity", Mack will extend his unique stance on such complex issues on humanity and psychology vis a vis the digital age. Says Mack, "We need to pivot the conversation around AI. The question is not whether AI will learn compassion or realize consciousness, but rather will humanity learn compassion and realize consciousness. The rise of AI is prompting us to take a deeper look into the digital mirror to better reflect on what it means to be human. The threat is not AI per se, but rather the failure to empower our humanity during such times. Today's global community shares a massive opportunity, one we can all take advantage of in order to prevent AI from taking advantage of us."

Mack will join other panel discussion leaders also at the event including Edgar Meij (Head of AI - Search & Discovery, Bloomberg), Chloe Westly (Mental Health Campaigner, Speaker & Former Advisor to the Prime Minister). Juan Jose Lopez Murphy (Head of Data Science & AI, Globant), Ai-Da (humanoid artist robot), Stella Win-yan Long (Head of Learning, The Design Museum), Andy Haldane (CEO, Royal Society of Arts), Lucy Kennedy (Chief Executive, National Saturday Club), among others.
