Please join us for the fourth annual AI and the Work of the Future Congress.
This virtual gathering will feature the launch of the final report from the MIT Task Force on Work of the Future, highlighting research policy findings from across 25+ Task Force and Advisory Board members.
Given the rapidly changing environment, nationally and globally, brought on by Covid-19, this topic is more important than ever.
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, will join the Congress for a discussion with MIT Labor Economist David Autor. The conference will feature panels and Q&A with leading academics, business, education, labor and philanthropic leaders, as well as policy makers.
Join us to explore the important question – how can we create a future of work that complements and augments human potential while contributing to shared economic prosperity?
