CMCE Next Gen 2.0: Risky Business

Held jointly with Dr Edmond Smith, Senior Lecturer in Economic Cultures at the University of Manchester.
WORKSHOP 2: HOW DOES MOTIVATION AFFECT YOUR CHOICES? - Now booking
Why does anyone do anything? Do we take risks for the possibility of reward? Or do we turn from them out of a fear of failure or punishment? There are myriad motivations that affect all of us, but recognising that they change how we make decisions is only the starting point. In exploring how diverse motivations can change how we make decisions, personally and in work, this session aims to reach a better understanding of how different people respond to risks and opportunities, and how we might use this to make better decisions, as individuals and as businesses
Our speaker is Adam McCarthy, PhD student in Science Technology and Innovation Policy at the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research. His research focuses on the governance of emerging technologies for societal benefit. Considering his background in molecular biology, he has a strong interest in sustainability and responsibility in the biosciences, recently focusing on international efforts to regulate AI-driven innovation in this area. His work is underpinned by a Responsible Innovation approach which means “taking care of the future through collective stewardship of science and innovation in the present”. His work has resulted in collaborations with a variety of stakeholders, ranging from preparing scientific advice for Members of Parliament and conducting interviews with international negotiators to teaching courses on Responsible Innovation in local schools.
