early and led him to the University of Wisconsin to pursue a degree

As fast as humans can innovate, we so often have to intervene on the ethics of emerging
media, experiences and the sharing of data. The connected world brings equal risk as it
does reward and the policies and laws around privacy, security and ethics are often
written while moving forward.
From the calculated autonomous car deaths coded within artificial intelligence to the
privacy and safety surrounding recent augmented reality experiences, today’s always-on
lifestyle and device obsession is leading our society down paths that are unchartered,
exciting and equally terrifying.
Join the Emerging Experiences group at Razorfish alongside experts in law, politics and
technology to exploring the fine lines of privacy, ethics and immorality in our rapidly
progressing world.
