If you’re a ‘digital native’ - someone who can’t remember a world before the internet - you might feel you have a good idea of the role technology will play in your life and perhaps in that of future generations.


But journalism professor Jeff Jarvis, author of a history of another transformative technology from more than five centuries ago - the printing press - says we can have no way yet of knowing where the internet, and AI, will take us.


The book is called The Gutenberg Parenthesis (https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/gutenberg-parenthesis-9781501394829/) . Jeff spoke to us at the World Economic Forum's AI Governance Summit.
