How will these advances impact our future society? Will robots replace workers? Is Big Data the new Big Brother? As the fields of artificial intelligence and data science flourish, they raise questions about how this new era of intelligent tools might help — or hinder — our future human society. Join Henry E. Brady, Dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy; and Ken Goldberg, the William S. Floyd Distinguished Chair of Engineering, as they discuss the impacts and implications of these fast-growing fields.
