The keynote is delivered by Adrian Johnston, Chair of Philosophy at the University of New Mexico, under the title \"Oedipus in the Clouds: An Infinite Greed for Knowledge\".

The talk traces the hidden power of prediction, from Roman emperors who banned prophets to AI algorithms making decisions about people's lives, arguing that predictions are attempts to grab power rather than knowledge.
