Will #ArtificialIntelligence take our place at desks, just as machines did in factories?
Robots are becoming increasingly intelligent, computers are beating us at our own games and 3D printers produce parts faster than we ever could. Does the #FutureOfWork have a robot’s face?
To address these challenges and forge solutions for using technological change as a catalyst for inclusive development, the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and Second Committee of the General Assembly will organise a joint meeting on “The Future of Everything – Sustainable Development in the Age of Rapid Technological Change” on 11 October 2018 at 10 a.m. NYC time. youtu.be/w1l4Mx-ZiiQ
