On November 29-Dec 1, 2017, the Stanford Silicon Valley-New Japan Project co-sponsored a symposium on “Working, Earning, and Learning in the Age of Intelligent Tools” at UC Berkeley. The conference was a joint production by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy, the UC Berkeley Center for Human-Compatible AI, the UC Berkeley Institute of European Studies, the UC Center for Information Technology Research in the Interests of Society, UC Davis Community and Regional Development Program, The American Jobs Project, the German Federal Ministry for Labor and Social Affairs, The German Academic Exchange Service, and the Stanford Silicon Valley-New Japan Project. This closed event brought together an interdisciplinary and international group of about 80 researchers from the fields of engineering and data science, economics, sociology, and political science, to explore the challenges we face in the age of intelligent tools and computation-intensive automation of manufacturing and services, and how we might find ways of working, earning, and learning that support the healthy development of our societies and economies and the humans who inhabit them, going forward.
