Short Course Description

We focus on digitalization - or what is aptly described as an economic and industrial revolution - driven by A.I. related technology invention and entrepreneurship. We study digitalization?s influence on practically every industry and segment of society, unraveling conventional business and economic logic, contributing to broken (even if previously effective) business models and societal dislocation.
The attention invested in digital technology and Artificial Intelligence is intense. It?s difficult not to be overwhelmed by incessant media coverage and startling headlines about Artificial Intelligence, and in recent months Generative AI and how it will alter economies, if not our lives. We will make good and solid sense of these issues, asking hard questions, considering not only assessment of abstraction, but practical specifics.

Using a variety of reading, video, podcasts, and classroom resources, we will assess essential industrial revolution dynamics, and whether the current Age of AI is indicative of predictive linear technological innovation and accompanying consequences, or is something unprecedented and discontinuous in scale and scope.
