How is George building a better working world?
I endorse and actively engage in technological transformation projects that create value by uniting individuals from diverse backgrounds and converging ideas from technology, the humanities, and the arts. Moreover, I share a deep admiration for authentic and sustainable values, products, and services, that contribute to a better working world. When it comes to AI, I think there is no better way to address today’s social challenges than embracing the ecumenical ideas of Aristotelian philosophy.
