When we have answers at our fingertips, it's tempting to delegate our thinking along with our tasks. But entire fields in science and technology exist because someone followed a line of curiosity that wasn't obviously useful at the time. In this roundtable led by neuroscientistAnne-LaureLe Cunff, participants will explore what we risk losing when we outsource not just our work but our wondering, and what it takes to protect curiosity as a form of human agency in the age of machine intelligence. Drawing on research and lived experience across disciplines, the group will trade perspectives to map where curiosity still matters most, and what each of us can do to keep it alive in our own work. Anchoring the discussion, a deceptively simple question: in an age of infinite answers, what's still worth wondering about?

What would you want your future self or future generations to stay curious about, regardless of what AI can do?
