Robot-proof: Higher education in the age of artificial intelligence | LIVE STREAM

Today, nearly every conversation about the future of work and the modern economy is dominated by the specter of robotics and intelligent machines. In his new book, “Robot-Proof: Higher Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” (MIT Press, 2017), Northeastern University President Joseph E. Aoun confronts the need for colleges and universities to meet the challenge — and opportunity — presented by smart machines. His blueprint features three primary components: a new curriculum for the artificial intelligence age, the case for experiential learning, and a call for higher education to place lifelong learning at the heart of the educational enterprise.

Join AEI for a discussion on the key recommendations from Dr. Aoun’s book and the implications for the future of higher education and human capital development.
