Redefining Human Life in an Age of Radical Change
A Breakfast Briefing at Dubai Future Week
We often imagine the future through technologies, cities and industries, but rarely consider the people who will build, inhabit and work in them. Yet changes in longevity, artificial intelligence, climate change and space exploration will not only alter how people live and work, but how we think about time, identity, purpose and responsibility. As the boundaries of what is possible expand, what does this mean for humanity?
Redefining Human Life in an Age of Radical Change, a Financial Times breakfast briefing hosted in partnership with Dubai Future Week, brings together leaders from across business, government, technology and civil society to explore what may change about being human—and what may endure. The Breakfast Briefing sits within Dubai Future Week’s theme, For the Human of the Future, which explores how technological, social and scientific change will reshape human life in the decades ahead. Following a moderated panel discussion, delegates will join small-group conversations to explore the ideas raised.
Key themes include
Radical longevity
How could longer lives reshape work, relationships and our sense of purpose?
Humans and AI
Which human qualities will become more valuable as AI transforms how we live and work?
Civilisation beyond Earth
