Term Limits: A Design for Living in the Age of AI

Conversation with Esther Dyson, Founder of Wellville, Health advocate, Journalist, Author, Investor, and Cosmonaut

In a world obsessed with infinite growth—of wealth, technology, and even intelligence—what if the real key to progress lies in limits? Esther Dyson, cosmonaut, entrepreneur, journalist, and investor, will explore the paradox of finiteness in an AI-driven era.

Drawing from her unique cross-disciplinary experiences, Dyson challenges the prevailing mindset of unchecked scalability in business, markets, and technology. How do term limits—on time, attention, and ambition—shape better decision-making, creativity, and fulfillment? In an era where AI promises abundance, how can individuals and enterprises harness constraints to drive meaningful progress?

This Collective[i] Forecast will offer a provocative lens on how leaders, organizations, and societies can rethink priorities, set boundaries, and embrace the power of limits in a world designed for scale.

Father Benanti's influence extends beyond academia to global discussions on the responsible development and deployment of AI. His role as a consultant to the Vatican, the pontiff, and the Italian government and his frequent engagements with Silicon Valley giants underscore his commitment to shaping ethical frameworks prioritizing human dignity and societal well-being in AI.
