What Does It Mean To Move a Society To a Cloud?
On August 31, 2021, the Aspen Institute Central Europe organized an expert workshop entitled What Does It Mean To Move a Society To a Cloud? The workshop was held under the umbrella of the NextGen Network, a collective action led the Aspen Institute’s International Partners and Microsoft, which brings together young leaders to develop an understanding of how new technologies, like artificial intelligence, will affect their lives and societies.
