AI is transforming our world at breakneck speed, but who is really in control?   While technology promises progress, it also risks entrenching deep-seated inequalities, putting women’s rights and safety in jeopardy. From deepfake pornography to biased algorithms and cyber exploitation, the AI revolution is amplifying misogyny in ways we can no longer ignore.   Laura Bates, Sunday Times bestselling author and founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, spoke at The Conduit last month about how sexism is being hardwired into our digital future.

During New York Climate Action Week, Paul van Zyl sat down with Nigel Sullivan, Bupa’s Chief Sustainability and People Officer, for a View from the Top conversation on the intersection of climate and health. From the 34th floor of Rockefeller Center, they explored how Bupa is redefining healthcare—embedding sustainability into its core and shifting focus from treatment to prevention. As Bupa and partners launch “The Case for Action”, Nigel’s insights remind us that healthier environments create healthier people, and that purposeful business can drive systemic change for both human and planetary wellbeing. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #Leadership https://lnkd.in/eN_FC8M4

In a moving conversation at The Conduit, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey reflected on his life as both a carer and campaigner, from nursing his mother as a teenager to caring for his disabled son today. His story mirrors that of 7 million unpaid carers across the UK who provide love, labour, and lifelines often without recognition or rest. Nearly 1 in 10 carers live in deep poverty, while 131,000 care roles remain unfilled, leaving both families and frontline workers under immense strain. In discussion with founder Paul van Zyl, Davey asked audience members what would a truly caring economy look like, and how do we get there?

"Love is me wanting you to be happy and free — no matter how much I don't like you!" Lama Rod Owens, activist and author of 'Love & Rage', has a way of looking at the concept of love that involves extending it to the very people who enact violence. Understanding that their actions may be the result of pain and a lack of access to the resources they need to be well, Owens's approach is not a case of bypassing accountability but, in fact, radically rethinking the way we approach collective care.
