Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, IoT, and gene editing will bring immeasurable benefits and advances to billions around the globe. Yet what happens when things go wrong – or new technologies fall into the hands of bad actors?

This two hour exploration on the unintended impacts of technology on society will feature a keynote address by Ash Carter, former US Secretary of Defense and now the Director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School.
Ash will be followed by a panel discussion of business, government, and academic leaders on how we can work together to ensure the next generation of technologies serve overall human good.

Co-presented by Technology and Public Purpose (TAPP) Project and the Harvard Innovation Labs. This event is open to the public.
