This month’s GIC Update is presented in video format.
GIC Chairman Stephen Ibaraki speaks with AI ethicist, educational psychologist, and climate strategist Marisa Zalabak in a wide-ranging conversation that reframes today’s tech revolution as a Consciousness Revolution. Rather than fuelling fear, she sees this as a unique chance to embed human flourishing into the heart of AI and education. They explore how transdisciplinary collaboration, bridging technologists, policymakers, youth, social scientists and community voices, is key to shaping responsible, regenerative systems.
