Then join the first virtual TUWac International Hub meetup in Washington DC and get to know other alumni online! The event will include a speech about artificial intelligence from expert Prof. Anton Korinek, Q&As and of course a lot of networking.

Host:
Dr. Sanjay Patnaik is TU Wien alumnus and the director of the Center on Regulation and Markets at the Brookings Institution. His research focuses on climate policies, business and government relations, corporate political strategy and international business.

Featured speaker:
Anton Korinek is Professor in the Department of Economics and at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia as well as a David M. Rubenstein Fellow at the Brookings Institution. His current research and teaching analyze the implications of Artificial Intelligence for business, for the economy, and for the future of society.

"AI and Inequality"
Advances in artificial intelligence promise to create lots of economic value, but unlike in earlier technological revolutions, there is a risk that they may reduce labor demand and increase economic inequality. Prof. Anton Korinek will speak about the tension between growth and inequality and how to steer technological progress in a direction that delivers on both growth and broadly shared prosperity. He will also showcase a tangible framework to estimate whether a specific AI application increases or reduces labor demand. Finally, he will also speak about how to prepare for a long-term future in which machines may be able to perform all human work.

Join us on March 16th, 16:00 pm EST for the International Hub kick off with Dr. Sanjay Patnaik and Prof. Anton Korinek!
