Tom Chatfield first spoke at Thinking Digital in 2012. He returns in 2024 at time when the world has shifted decidedly from techno-optimism to widespread techno-anxiety. Tom wants to discuss what it means to use technology well in an age of AI: to engage critically with its offerings, make the most of human cognition and equip yourself to face the future hopefully.
