In an era shaped by algorithms, platforms, and artificial intelligence, technology doesn’t just change what we do — it changes who we are.

In this opening fireside chat, Louis Theroux and Professor Hannah Fry come together to explore where technology meets humanity. From online radicalisation and digital identity to AI decision-making, power, bias, and unintended consequences, they examine how systems designed to optimise, predict, and scale are deeply entangled with human behaviours and communications.

Drawing on Theroux’s experience uncovering the people and communities shaped by technology, and Fry’s work decoding the mathematics behind modern systems, this conversation will challenge assumptions about control, responsibility, and trust in the digital age.

Expect a thought-provoking discussion on what happens when human complexity collides with data-driven systems; and why understanding both sides has never been more important.
