Technology is so deeply woven into the fabric of everyday life that we can easily take it for granted. But if we lose confidence in the people who devise it and the businesses that manufacture it, the value of even the most sophisticated software and machinery swiftly diminishes. In an age of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence, and as concerns heighten over the spread of misinformation, threat of cyber-attack and concentration of tech power, it’s never been more essential for technologists to earn—and keep—the public’s trust.

Bloomberg Live Experiences is convening a distinguished group of executives, investors, engineers and entrepreneurs to engage in a candid discussion of the role of trust in technology. We’ll explore what it takes to build, deepen and retain faith in the applications and machines that are designed to revolutionize how we work, play, travel, learn and connect with one another. We’ll also consider what it takes to regain the public’s trust in cases where it’s lost. I hope you will join us for this vital and timely conversation.

I look forward to seeing you in London!
