Join us for the annual Cockcroft Rutherford Lecture with Professor Simon Johnson, alumnus and winner of the 2024 Nobel Prize for Economics.
In this lecture, 'Technology and Global Inequality in the Age of AI', Simon Johnson will discuss the intellectual and policy debates swirling around AI both in the US and around the world. Can we really create “Pro-Worker AI”? What would that take?
Professor Duncan Ivison, President and Vice-Chancellor will chair the lecture, which will be followed by a Q&A with the audience. Following the lecture please join us for a drinks and canapes reception.
