Building Better Jobs in an Age of Intelligent Machines (Episode #1)

Tuesday, April 13, 2021

10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. EST

In the spring of 2018, MIT President Rafael Reif commissioned an MIT-wide task force on the Future of Work to address what may well be the most critical question of the digital economy: as emerging technologies raise aggregate economic output and the wealth of nations, will they also enable people to attain higher living standards, better working conditions, greater economic security, and improved health and longevity? This past November the task force released its final report. Dr. Elisabeth Reynolds and Dr. Irving Wladawsky-Berger will discuss the report's key findings and recommendations.

Elisabeth Reynolds, PhD '10, Special Assistant to the President for Manufacturing & Economic Development, and former Executive Director, MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future

Will Artificial Intelligence get us through Uncertain Times? (Episode #2)

Wednesday, April 14, 2021

10:30 a.m. - 11:45 a.m. EST

There is little doubt that the pandemic has accelerated digital transformation. But should companies double down on AI and automation to navigate through uncertain times? What approaches, technologies and tools hold the most promise to ensure long term success? This panel of experts will explore different techniques including collective intelligence and re-skilling, that can enhance your strategy.
