This interactive panel will discuss the opportunities and challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for politics, society, and the economy. Political Economy, as an interdisciplinary field, is ideally suited to provide a holistic picture of these issues, as it studies how power shapes economic and political outcomes. The panel is organized by the Political Economy Futures Forum (PEFF), a community of researchers in the College of Social Sciences committed to addressing global challenges for politics, society, and the economy. Participants of the event will develop greater awareness of AI and how it will shape our ability to address global challenges.
