Topic

AI, Blockchain & the Future of Work

Abstract

The exponential advances in AI and other technologies, coupled with the gig economy, have already begun to change the nature of work in the 21st century. This is the stuff of dystopian specters and idyllic visions. China has already implemented AI-based societal control and is working to spread their system throughout the country. Others are working to create a more efficient form of work built around the human experience that enables people to spend their time on what they do well and enjoy, using technology to reduce or eliminate effort on mundane tasks and approval processes. Nearly every technology has positive and negative implications. This presentation and discussion will explore the promise of AI, smart contracts and how we can ensure these technologies will enrich humanity.
