What still belongs to us—and what has already been surrendered to algorithms?
AI composes music, writes text, speaks in our voices, and makes decisions faster than we ever could. It sounds convenient. But the more technology thinks for us, the less we think for ourselves.
It is no coincidence that the demand for “AI-free” products is rising—not because technology is inherently bad, but because our brains weren’t built for permanent assistance.
In this talk, we will explore:
- The end of AI hype and the return to human judgment
- Deepfakes, cloned voices, and the hacking of trust
- The impact of technology on creativity, attention, and learning
- The risk of “silent brain atrophy” in the digital world
We will also highlight where technology truly makes sense—such as in the world of payments, where Mastercard helps protect people from fraud, simplifies authentication, and blocks suspicious transactions in real-time.
This isn’t a battle against technology. It’s about not losing control over our own minds.
