Boston Review welcomes four leading scholars for a critical public conversation on the economic and social impact of artificial intelligence, and what can be done now to redirect it for the public good.

Contributors from Boston Review's Spring 2021 book, Redesigning AI, Daron Acemoglu and Annette Zimmermann, will join Rob Reich, co-author of System Error: Where Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot, to explore the ways to ensure a just future for AI in a conversation moderated by Beth Noveck, Director of the Governance Lab and author of the book Solving Public Problems.

Tickets to this event are free and open to the public. Please consider making a small contribution of $3—or any amount you can donate—when you register to help fund future events like this and the work of Boston Review.
