The Didier & Martine Primat Foundation is pleased to announce its support for the CERN & Société Foundation and the fifth TEDxCERN event entitled ‘The Elephant in the Room’, taking place in Geneva on 20 November 2018.

As the name suggests, the conference will focus on the important but overlooked ethical problems that new technologies pose for humanity, and the changes that are taking place in society. The programme includes research into exoplanets, biotechnology and genomics, artificial intelligence and robotics, fake news and data confidentiality, and environmental challenges in the Anthropocene era.

The event will be webcast live across the world on the TEDxCERN homepage and the CERN homepage.
