Let’s educate a new generation of DeGrowth Hackers
Arjan Haring
There is a lot of talk of a New Economics that is needed to keep our planet liveable and society flourishing. Parallel to these developments the Old Economy is turning into a Data Economy, and I’d argue we are moving fast to become an Algorithmic Economy.
The age of algorithms is upon us, but without a change in our thinking it will lead to the Old Economy on steroids…
Arjan Haring
In the worst case this will be the Old Economy on steroids. A better way forward seems to connect the emerging New Economics with Algorithms in a conscious manner.
With 15+ years hands-on experience in the datafication of our economy I’ll share some of my reflections so far and potential ways of combining AI and the New Economy.
Arjan has worked on the interface of data science and behavioral science since the mid 00s. He consulted at Cap Gemini, founded Haring Institute of Happiness, co-founded Science Rockstars, ran experiments at Booking.com, and helped launch Jheronimus Academy of Data Science.
He is currently partner at the product design agency Seldon Digital & cofounder of sustainable food startup Jars.
Arjan is firmly rooted in Utrecht, the Netherlands, as well as Pärnu, the summer capital of Estonia.
