Join Chicago Booth and UChicago alumni for the first Ryder Club Keynote on "Artificial Intelligence and Digital Labor – What is the impact on business, people, and society?"
Event Details
The Ryder Club is kicking off 2017 with an ambitious Keynote on Artificial Intelligence (AI) on February 15.
Artificial Intelligence promises to change everything. Driving our cars. Organising our life. Diagnosing a disease before it is visible. And perhaps even taking on our jobs... What's behind the AI hype ? How will it really impact business, people and society ? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this Ryder Club Keynote, which will include AI thought leaders of diverse backgrounds (academic, business, economic, political), real case studies and a panel debate.
We look forward to seeing you there!
