Building resilient societies

Technology profoundly shapes the world we live in, and the stakes are high.

Digital Humanism offers a path to ensure that innovation in Europe strengthens human dignity, freedom, and democracy. It’s not about resisting progress—it’s about steering it in a direction that puts people first.

Digital Humanism in Europe

Toby Walsh: “The AI Race: Boom or Doom?”

IWM Digital Humanism Fellowship Lecture

In this talk, Professor Toby Walsh examines the rapid rise of AI. He will explore both the extraordinary opportunities and the significant risks posed by increasingly powerful intelligent systems. As governments race to harness AI’s economic potential while grappling with its societal consequences, critical questions demand answers: How do we ensure AI systems are safe and trustworthy? What policies are needed to protect jobs, privacy, and democratic institutions? Will AI bring boom? Or doom?

Toby Walsh is Scientia Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of New South Wales in Sydney and CSIRO’s Data61. He is the winner of the prestigious Celestino Eureka Prize for Promoting Understanding of Science and was named on the international “Who’s Who in AI” list of influencers. He appears regularly on TV and radio, has been profiled by the New York Times and has authored five books on AI for a general audience, the most recent ones entitled “The Shortest History of AI” (2025) and “Faking It: Artificial Intelligence in a Human World”.

Moderation: Hannes Werthner.

Our working areas

The human

We explore how digitalisation transforms work and education, reshapes our understanding of identity and dignity and raises urgent questions of privacy and algorithmic control.

Our society

We address how surveillance, disinformation, and online discourse affect freedom of speech and human rights, and how ethical frameworks can strenghten resilience.

The economy

We analyse platform economies and the power and dominance of technology monopolies, focusing on consumer rights and the role of regulation in ensuring fair competition.

The state

In an age of accelerating technological change, we examine how digital transformation challenges democracy, sovereignty, and geopolitics, and what political frameworks are needed to safeguard democratic governance.
