Event Details

Change is coming. The web is being consumed by apps. Search is becoming a victim of its own success. The Internet of things is upon us and in the distance quantum computing is clouding the horizon. These changes will mean a shift of wealth. New winners, new losers. New monetization methods. New uses of data and machine intelligence. Where will it take us? Where will this all end?

Join Microsoft Distinguished Engineer James Whittaker and Stanford ACM for a presentation that begins 20 years in the past and ends 20 years in the future with insight into how society will work, if machines will take over and what’s left for humanity if they do.

James Whittaker is a Distinguished Engineer and Technical Evangelist at Microsoft. He is well known for his talks on The Art of Stage Presence and Career Superpowers. Before his current stint at Microsoft, he was an Engineering Director at Google, working on Chrome, Google Maps, and Google+.

The presentation will take place in Room 111 of Y2E2. Dinner will be provided.
