Next: Economy 2015

Sobre este curso

we have a world where technology is
giving us enormous power to do new things but we also look around us and we
say we're using that power wisely that if you want to have a high functioning
society you must match the rate of technological commercial innovation with
equal amounts of civic innovation

machines are not going to take over us
we're gonna take over the machines. To me AI is going to happen its technology
that's inevitable the question is how do we design in the human in the loop so

economic dislocation there are moments in companies are and I'd say countries
that are strategic inflection points where something huge is happening that could
either have a positive or negative
