Description
The historical advancement of technology has sometimes distanced and even dehumanized how we work, live, and play. Fortunately, the 5th Industrial Revolution heralds a journey that could yield more balanced and empowered human-machine interactions.
This powerhouse panel will explore the ways that we are turning technology into an ally for how machines and humans can - and must - collaborate for a sustainable future. We will debate how immersive tech has the potential to profoundly impact sustainability agendas across business, politics, academia, and communities.
The opportunity for creators, educators, and policymakers to leverage AR, VR, and other immersive experiences for unprecedented solutions has never been so exciting. Whether it's around climate change, DE&I, social equity, or emotional and psychological wellbeing, there is much to solve with the power of innovation at our fingertips. Join us to ponder, consider, delight in, and celebrate the possibilities.

Description
Today, virtual reality lets us immerse ourselves in vibrant digital spaces with a surprising sense of social presence—the feeling that you’re right there with someone else, no matter where in the world they happen to be. But technology that opens up new possibilities can also be used to cause harm, especially when your virtual identity is segregated from your real identity. In VR, we sometimes see abusive behaviors such as harassing, bullying, grooming, and racial or sexual discrimination.
How do we prevent bad behaviors and engender pro-social behaviors in VR? How do we encourage people to trust and respect each other when they remain anonymous? In this talk, I'll walk through how we can build trust systems in a virtual environment, how social norms of virtual social spaces compare and differ from real life, and what principles we should follow to ensure we are building for inclusivity and safety of all types of people.
