AI, Post-Intellectual Property, and Co-Inherited Wealth
Keynote | 25 June 2025
Apéro Philo – University of Zurich – Digital Society Initiative – Ethics
In this keynote, Marina explored how AI is reshaping ownership, value creation, and the very concept of intellectual property. Moving beyond abstract ethics, the talk connected emerging AI-driven realities with new economic models of shared value, co-inherited wealth, and systemic responsibility.
Designed for an interdisciplinary academic and practitioner audience, the keynote challenged conventional financial logic and invited participants to rethink how capital, knowledge, and technology can be stewarded—rather than owned—in a digital society.
If you’re looking for a keynote, workshop, or strategic session that bridges finance, technology, and regeneration.
