To bring a fresh perspective to Techonomy 2017, we invited four high school students to attend the event and share their impressions. All of our student observers are members of AI4ALL, a nonprofit working to increase diversity and inclusion in artificial intelligence.

Kat Tian, Ananya Karthik, Avantika Ghosh and Irene Yang all joined us on the first day of the conference and were particularly taken by both the promise and the thorny ethical concerns tied to the coming convergence of man and machines.

And note their names—we will all be working for them soon.

Tech's Impact on Business and Society, techonomy.com

Today technology is inextricably entwined with just about every activity that humans undertake. Techonomy embraces that fact, and seeks as a company to help the world take advantage of it. We cast our lens broadly across business and society in order to highlight and explore the manifold ways in which tech’s impact is felt. Techonomy Media hosts conferences and dinners and publishes editorial content, including video journalism. We make our programs accessible to a wide audience because it is impossible to know where leaders will emerge, and because the world increasingly recognizes that, for better or worse, we are all in this together.
