The Future of Business in a Technological Age: What Have We Done?

Abstract

Over the course of the workshop series we have considered a wide range of technologies from those – like Artificial Intelligence – that we would immediately recognise as technologies, through to those – like university rankings – that might barely seem to qualify as technology in any normal sense. In this final session we shall pull together all the threads and consider technologies not as artefacts but as a logic – a particular way of thinking about the world. While the logic of business often fits well with the logic of technology, uncritically making and accepting this connection can often cause problems. Many of these problems can be mitigated or avoided all together by Christian reflection upon the relationship between business and technology.
