Player One: Cybernetics, Gaming, and Youth Economic Agency
22-Apr-2026
What if the next digital economy not only extracted value from young people but also genuinely empowered them to own it?
Join us for a Social Impact Network fireside chat as we explore how emerging systems, from gaming ecosystems to decentralized infrastructure, are testing new economic models that focus on participation, ownership, and value creation. YPOers will examine how cybernetics, governance, and digital infrastructure could shift the paradigm, transforming youth from passive participants in the attention economy into active economic principals in a new “intent economy.”
Together, the speakers will discuss how these models could expand, the legal and governance frameworks required, and what this shift means for leaders, institutions, and the future of global digital economies. Crafted as a forward-looking conversation for leaders navigating technology, impact, and innovation, this session offers a fresh perspective on reimagining digital systems to serve, rather than extract from, the next generation.
By attending this event, you will:
- Discover ways business leaders can support systems that empower the future.
- Gain insight into the legal and structural considerations for responsible scaling.
- See how gaming ecosystems and emerging technologies are testing new models.
- Explore how cybernetics and digital infrastructure enable youth economic agency.
Be part of the conversation shaping the future of digital economies.
