You have probably heard about the impact of bitcoin mining on the environment. But have you thought about the sustainability of newer technologies like generative AI or virtual reality? And what about other aspects of sustainability apart from CO2 emissions and the climate?

In this talk we will explore the impact of ever-evolving technologies through the holistic lens of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and take a look at how they are shaping the fabric of work, society and our everyday lives. We will investigate real-world examples of modern technologies and their positive and negative influence on the environment, social (in)equalities, and mental health.

Whether you’re a developer, designer, product person or tech enthusiast: I invite you to learn how to use modern technologies responsibly and unlock their potential to drive positive change and create a more sustainable world for all.
