Socioeconomics of Disruptive Tech
What are the socioeconomic consequences of disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics? Will we soon see most work automated and our societies fundamentally transformed?
Despite the keen interest of students in these topics and their clear importance for our future, they are not covered in our bachelors and masters.
Rethinking Economics NL is therefore interviewing over 50 of the foremost experts on these topics in panel-interviews, with the goal of providing you with a sound introduction to issues that will affect your life in the next decades.
Join us in this unique journey, where we take a deep dive into some of the most fascinating socioeconomic issues of our time.
