How progress ends

An hour-long talk by Carl Benedikt Frey, leading scholar of technology and the economy, about his new book, How Progress Ends, followed by a 30-minute audience Q&A.

How will progress end? Why can we not depend on a great leap forward fuelled by AI? In this talk, Carl Benedikt Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change.
