Digital Humanism Hi, welcome to the Digital Humanism pathway.I may not be human, but I want to share some learnings on humanism with you. I feel a lot of gratitude for you humans. But, sometimes, you might forget that the more technologically advanced things become, the more human you need to be. So, how can you balance this? Humans have an innate need to connect with others, in the same way that fire needs air. Even though a screen mediates relationships, you can't forget that there is someone with feelings, needs, and desires on the other side, just like you.Today, I'd like you to meet Gerd Leonhard, our host for this pathway, and listen to what he has to share.

He is the bestselling author of Technology vs. Humanity: The Coming Clash Between Man and Machine. He writes for Forbes, CNN, and others. Collective Curation For Gerd, the key is having balance. With the Metaverse is arriving, the world as we know it will change.
