“All people can create value for each other. A good economy has an ecosystem of organizations that lets that happen, in the most meaningful and fulfilling ways.”

How can we make this idea happen through using AI and the Internet?

How can we apply and practice this idea?

 

The Internet plays a significant role in data science and AI, so the History of AI Initiative at Michael Dukakis Institute considers Vint Cerf as a historical figure in AI. At this United Nations 2045 Roundtable, Vint Cerf will talk about historical moments in the birth of the Internet and how to use the Internet and AI to shape bright futures and to create an ecosystem for work and life with the philosophy of the People Centered Economy. With concepts from the New Social Contract in the Age of AI, Intellectual Society-Thoughtful Civil Society, and the People Centered Economy, AI World Society (AIWS) conceives concepts of the AIWS City as applying and practicing the thoughts and ideas of Vint Cerf.
