Description
Have you jumped on-board the AI bandwagon yet? This year has marked a potential tipping point in the mass adoption of artificial intelligence thanks to the public release of generative AI platforms like ChatGPT, which sent a shockwave of disruption through many established sectors, from healthcare and agriculture to journalism, cybersecurity, and of course, any creative industries. That’s why this summer is a perfect time to highlight an episode from earlier on in this season of Disruptors, an RBC Podcast, featuring host John Stackhouse in conversation with one of Canada’s preeminent voices on the topic of AI. Professor Ajay Agrawal is a professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. His latest book is called “Power and Prediction: The Disruptive Economics of Artificial Intelligence”, which he co-wrote with his fellow Rotman profs Joshua Gans and Avi Goldfarb. As you’ll hear by listening to this episode, many of their predictions have already come to pass, but some of the most compelling questions about the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on our world have yet to be answered.
