The future is here. And the future is fast changing with AI and deep machine learning. Technology experts and economists are engaged in a growing debate about the effect of automation technologies in the workplace.

For centuries, while new technologies have inspired concerns about the future of work, advances have resulted in new occupations taking place of old. But does the development of artificial intelligence portend something new and different?

Come have lunch and discuss how artificial intelligence and deep machine learning are changing the economy and your future as a leader. Our distinguished guests - Beth Beckhy (expert on leadership and micro-sociology of work), Robert Seamans (expert on competitive strategies for tech industry), and Melissa Schilling (expert on deep artificial intelligence), - will discuss the implications of these technologies on industries, human capital, and competition.
