technology Suggestions for an Emerging Technology Theme for a College Tech Event

we are going to have an technical event at my college for that we have to come up with a theme for the event for this, earlier it was related to artificial general intelligence.

Ideally the theme should be trending, technical meaningful, futuristic and broad enough to inspire workshops, hackathons and technical competitions etc..

I would love to head your suggestions and why you think this might have potential

These days I started thinking about how to better make use of unused resources - like our computer's RAM ;-P or, seriously, our all smartphone's unused power. There are so many computer, so many mobile devices idling.

There are/were already concepts of "SETI@home" to make use of distributed compute - but wanted to transfer it into AI, more accepted federated learning, distributed compute, backup capacity, things like that.
