Are algorithms the next generation of artists? The relationship between technology and its effect on jobs has been a long-standing debate. Some argue that automation replaces common repetitive tasks, allowing humans to be more efficient and creative. But advancements in AI, machine learning, and computer vision are enabling computers to not only curate, but create new content. Will technology augment the creative process or threaten to replace it?

Speakers:

Nancy Giordano, Futurist

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.
