“H” is first and foremost about the future of the Humanities. And, specifically for this first edition, H refers to two major cross-disciplinary transformations in the field of knowledge: "Hyperscience" and "Hyperreality".

"Hyperscience". Over the next twenty years, a hyperscientific core of unified methods and knowledge will undoubtedly emerge, including the humanities and social sciences, and with research into the “science of science”. Transdisciplinarity is becoming the norm rather than the exception, recomposing a fluid and continuous knowledge landscape far removed from the old silos, forging a fertile ground for innovation and discovery.

“Hyperreality”. At the same time, we are entering the regime of “Hyperreality”, a territory in which the boundaries between the real and the virtual, documentary and fiction, are blurring. Hyperreality is characterized by the gradual obsolescence of truth and falsity as foundational concepts of discourse, a continuum between the natural and the artificial, a normalization of simulation as an experience of the world, and a new realm of creative expression, a canvas onto which the future can be painted.

The generation born at the dawn of the year 2000 is the one that is experiencing these two convergences. If they are introduced to these new dynamics early enough, they will not only participate in the existing global game; they may well rewrite its rules.

A new series of videos from CDH instructor @johanrochel dives into the ethics of AI, and complements his course on The Ethics of AI, which he began teaching last fall. We spoke to him about how he tailors teaching ethics to engineers.
