Policy and Technology for the Jobs of the Future

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and assistive technologies will transform the future of work, with wide-ranging effects on employment and income distribution. Despite dystopian forecasts of robots replacing workers, AI and intelligent tools also have the potential to foster a more inclusive workforce. Join Chancellor Carol T. Christ and distinguished faculty for an engaging evening featuring Jennifer Granholm ’84, Distinguished Adjunct Professor at Berkeley Law and the Goldman School of Public Policy, and former Michigan governor; and Ken Goldberg, professor and department chair, Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. They will discuss the impact of autonomous vehicles and how AI might enhance workers rather than replace them.
