Technology has always been a means to improve our lives, not an end in itself. Today, more than ever, we must reflect on its ethical implications and ensure that its development contributes to a better world.Technological innovation plays a crucial role as a driver of social change, shaping the way we live, work, and relate to one another.One of the greatest challenges that companies are facing is hybrid intelligence — the fusion of human and machine capabilities.
