Nobel laureate Daron Acemoğlu – Power and progress

Daron Acemoğlu’s lecture delves into some of the most critical questions we face today: How will technological advancements, particularly in AI and automation, shape the future of our society? Will these innovations drive widespread prosperity, or will they deepen inequality and entrench power among a select few? Acemoğlu of ‪@mit‬ offers a unique perspective on these pressing issues. He argues that while technology holds immense transformative potential, its outcomes are not predetermined. The key question is: who will control this progress, and under what conditions will it unfold? At the heart of Acemoğlu’s vision is the belief that we can shape innovation to serve the broader public good. He shares his insights on how we, as a society, can navigate these challenges and create a future where technological progress benefits everyone. https://www.ubscenter.uzh.ch/en/news_...   / ubscenter     / ubscenter   00:00:00 – 00:06:23 Intro Ernst Fehr 00:06:23 – 00:44:35 Keynote Daron Acemoğlu 00:44:35 – 01:27:40 Q&A 01:27:40 – 01:29:23 Outro Ernst Fehr #EconomicsForSociety #UZH #shareubs ‪@uzhch‬ ‪@UBS‬ ‪@UZHDepartmentofEconomics_ECON‬ ‪@uzh-oec‬
