On November 3, the Stanford Silicon Valley-New Japan Project hosted “Human Autonomy in the Age of Automation: Envisioning 2045” at Stanford University. The event was produced jointly with Japanese venture community, Mistletoe Inc. We invited thought leaders, technologists and social entrepreneurs to discuss the replacement of human labor by artificial intelligence and robotics, and what this shift might mean for the future of human welfare and economic opportunity. We also revealed our new joint collaboration with Mistletoe In., The Mistletoe Foundation, and its inaugural program, the Mistletoe Research Fellowship Program.
