About this podcast
Next Gen: Beyond Innovation is a podcast that critically explores how emerging technologies shape and reshape our world from artificial intelligence to education, labor, health, climate, culture, and governance. We go beyond buzzwords to challenge dominant narratives, confront techno-solutionism, and uncover what’s often invisible: the biases, the power structures, the human cost. Through expert insight, storytelling, and sharp analysis, we empower professionals, educators, policymakers, and curious minds to think clearly, act responsibly, and shape futures that are ethical, sustainable.
