This is the inaugural talk of a new public lecture series ‘What does it mean to be Human?’ organised by the Trinity Long Room Hub and Trinity Research and Innovation. In this high-profile lecture series, experts from enterprise and education will reflect on what it means to be human at the turn of the 21st century with the growing influence of technology on the way we live, work and communicate.
