Wednesday Lectures

How do Americans think artificial intelligence will shape the economy in the future? Do they think it will replace their jobs or will it complement them? Join Dean Loewen as he explains how using a series of proprietary surveys in the United States and globally, we can understand how Americans’ views compare to those in other countries, and we can understand how their concerns and aspirations around artificial intelligence can shape what responses they want from their governments and their employers.
