AI Debate: Will AI make us better off?

There is no doubt that AI is making a lot of money already, but we are yet to see if this will translate into better economic prospects across the society.

Many are getting familiar with the promises of AI-driven increases in productivity and the better quality of work and jobs. But there are also many narratives about potential job losses and insecurity, and possibility for a growing economic divide between those benefiting from the AI technologies and those who might be left behind.

Our expert panel, chaired by Timandra Harkness, will discuss how AI is likely to affect the world of work and our economic prospects. There will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions and offer their view and experiences.

Full panel to be announced.
