As the sun sets on our day at Melk, we draw the curtain on the second leg of the BOLD Unconference 2023.

Challenged to articulate their strategies for navigating health and resilience amidst tech-induced uncertainties, our BOLD minds rose to the occasion. 

Here are some standout insights:

Embrace technology, but don’t let it dictate your life.

Leverage technology to serve the people’s needs – and distribute the benefits of technology more equally.

And of course – take those scheduled breaks and try not to let social media deteriorate your mental state.

Further, attendees shared a wealth of ideas on the marriage of digitization and mindfulness, as well as the role technology might play in addressing the imminent challenges:

Use digitization to protect and preserve our cultural and historical heritage.

Use tech to improve healthcare through advances in diagnostics.

Use data in a strategic way to improve the lives of people with proper analytics.

On a final note, our host Réka Artner had the last words: In an ever-evolving landscape, it's not the allure of the newest trend that sustains us, but the pursuit of genuine inspiration.

And with that, we’re off to Linz – check back here to catch the latest from Ars Electronica later today and tomorrow!
