In this Lab, participants will deploy their collective intelligence to present and assess probable and desirable futures for cash. Using action-research/action-learning tools, the Lab will offer the opportunity to analyse the burning questions facing the future of cash. For instance, the fundamental ethical issues related to the future of cash, from loss of privacy to concentration of knowledge and data. The Lab will take participants beyond deterministic extrapolations and techno-fatalism to examine changes inspired by open and creative futures.
The Lab will be built around three three-hour sessions on 7 September (remote session), 8 September (remote session) and 14 September (in-person).
