"Embracing the World Once Again: Attention, Consciousness, and Human Freedom in the Age of Artificial Intelligence"

Graham Burnett, one of the leading advocates for care, is coming to the Espacio Fundación Telefónica.

Thanks to a collaboration between the Telefónica Foundation and the Museo Universidad de Navarra MUN), this advocate for mindfulness will discuss the technological changes that are currently having a negative impact on society and the attention economy, with the aim of restoring the fundamental role that each person plays in shaping the future of the world. Drawing on his work as a science historian and activist dedicated to cultivating human attention, this outstanding thinker and speaker will present, in an accessible way, his concept of “attensity”—the clarity we need to truly pay attention to our surroundings and to people—in contrast to distraction. He argues that this will set us free and thus reveal the immense value of people over artificial solutions.

This will be followed by a discussion with Gabriel Pérez-Barreiro, artistic director of the MUN, and a Q&A session with the audience.
