The Power of Inquiry with Shannon Mullen O’Keefe
Shannon Mullen O’Keefe champions collaboration, serendipitous discovery, curious conversations, ethical leadership, and purposeful curation of our technical creations.
Shannon shares her professional journey from curating leaders to innovative ideas. From lightbulbs to online dating and AI voice technology, Shannon highlights the simultaneously beautiful and nefarious applications of tech and the need to assess our creations continuously and critically. She highlights powerful insights spurred by the values and questions posed in the book 10 Moral Questions: How to Design Tech and AI Responsibly. We discuss the ‘business of business,’ consumer appetite for ethical businesses, and why conversation is the bedrock of culture. Throughout, Shannon highlights the importance and joy of discovery, embracing nature, sitting in darkness, and mustering the will to change our minds, even if that means turning our creations off.
Shannon Mullen O’Keefe is the Curator of the Museum of Ideas and co-author of the Q Collective’s book 10 Moral Questions: How to Design Tech and AI Responsibly. Learn more at https://www.10moralquestions.com/.
