Latest Data & AI in Society lecture poses the question: Will workers be needed in the future?
EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT
DATE: 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 10
EVENT: Artificial intelligence adoption is already changing how people work, with a growing number of companies adopting systems to handle an increasing number of tasks. How will human work evolve as adoption progresses and what will that mean for how people earn a living?
Will the winner-take-most economy of the past several decades continue, further increasing inequality, or will AI be the great equalizer? While many things remain unknown, University of Michigan economist Betsey Stevenson will provide insights on what we can learn from the past, what we are already seeing today and what might be the best way forward for both income and human flourishing.
Stevenson is a former chief economist of the U.S. Department of Labor and member of the Council of Economic Advisers during the Obama administration. Her research explores women’s labor market experiences, the economic forces shaping the modern family, and how these labor market experiences and economic forces on the family influence each other.
