REDEFINING KNOWLEDGE
Aug 04-11 Puebla, Mexico
We are convinced that we can use technology and
innovation to promote equity and social justice
by creating technological, frugal and innovative solutions that
address relevant social problems.
In the age of AI, knowledge is no longer static but dynamic, processed and applied intelligently. It encompasses acquiring, updating, and integrating information to generate ideas and solve problems. This transformation will profoundly affect education, work, health, transportation, and various aspects of life.
Future Traditions are evolving cultural practices that adapt to social and technological advancements. They bridge societal gaps and reflect changing needs and values. By embracing the past, frugal innovation unlocks pathways for improved quality of life. It explores ancestral traditions, enabling access to better resources and opportunities for all, narrowing the divide between haves and have-nots.
To create an inclusive society, we must ensure access to a high quality of life while promoting general welfare and social justice. This involves developing innovative approaches at various levels, such as territorial, urban, and architectural, while also seeking more equitable economic systems to enhance collective well-being.
We aim to utilize technology tools and applications to enhance the quality of life for everyone. As digital technology has drastically altered our lives, it is crucial to establish fair and balanced ways of coexisting, producing, and consuming, ensuring equitable outcomes in our rapidly changing world.
We will delve into emerging possibilities and trends with the potential to shape the future. These encompass technological, social, economic, and cultural changes. By exploring alternative scenarios, risks, opportunities, and identifying signals of change, individuals and organizations can effectively prepare for and adapt to an uncertain and ever-evolving future.
