Technology has unequivocally transformed
the dynamics of our interactions,
lifestyles, work environments, social
connections, and business operations.
Playing a pivotal role in society,
technology continues to evolve,
promising novel advancements that will
reshape our lives and professional
landscapes.
While technology facilitates seamless
communication, information access,
travel, idea-sharing, and knowledge
creation, there is a growing
apprehension about its potential adverse
impacts on society in the future.
Notably, concerns have arisen regarding
the potential negative consequences of
artificial intelligence (AI) and
automation. Additionally, the influence
of social media on mental health and
well-being, especially among younger
generations, is a subject of heightened
worry.
The societal effects of technology can
be both beneficial and detrimental.
Looking ahead, it becomes imperative to
carefully consider the potential
ramifications of emerging technological
innovations and actively work towards
mitigating any negative consequences
while amplifying the positive outcomes.
Ultimately, the responsibility lies with
all of us to ensure that technology is
harnessed for the collective benefit of
society.
The BSLab Symposium 2025 endeavours to
explore the positive and negative
impacts of technology on society, aiming
to chart a course for a more favourable
future. Studying the impact of
technology on society involves
navigating a highly complex interplay of
various realities, including individual
cognition and affect, group dynamics,
and societal structures. The symposium
aims to engage in rigorous scientific
discussions on the transformative
effects of technology on society,
seeking innovative approaches to address
contemporary global economic and social
challenges from systemic perspectives.
The event intends to illuminate the
intricate interactions among natural,
social, and economic systems, adopting a
multidisciplinary perspective
encompassing various fields such as
management, economics, sociology,
behavioural science, psychology, ethics,
engineering, design, decision making and
education, among others.
The Symposium is designed to create a
friendly atmosphere among senior
scholars, PhD students, researchers, and
business practitioners.
While emphasizing a systemic methodology,
the symposium remains open to diverse
scientific approaches, aiming to
facilitate constructive debates and
exchanges that pave the way for new
avenues in research and practice.
The language of the B.S.Lab Symposia is
English.
The Symposium 2025 will be structured in
discussion panels and poster sessions.
The Symposium will start on Thursday
January 23 at 12,00 am and end on
Friday January 24 at 19,00 pm.
