Artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, and other new technologies appear poised to transform the world economy, and, though the transition may be painful, the United States is well-positioned to take advantage of these new opportunities.

Panelists will discuss the impact of changing demographics and advancing technology on the U.S. economy and what the United States can do to manage these changes and seize their potential, including improving the educational system, removing bias in AI, and ensuring a growing, productive population.

Moderated by Gopi Shah Goda, deputy director at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research

Panelists:

• Erik Brynjolfsson, professor at MIT Sloan School and director of the MIT initiative on the digital economy
• Dipayan Ghosh, Shorenstein Center at Harvard University
