César Hidalgo & Andrew McAfee - Socioeconomics of Disruptive Tech #002

In this second interview for the series we will be speaking with Andrew McAfee (Co-Director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy) and César A. Hidalgo (ANITI Chair at the University of Toulouse). How are disruptive technologies as AI transforming not only our economy, but also our society? We discuss topics as increasing and decreasing inequalities, if there are and will be enough jobs and whether we need an universal basic income (UBI). We also focus on how economics relates to other disciplines and the importance of learning advanced econometric methods, which often relate closely to machine learning.
