SUMMARY:Author: Chris Ategeka, The Unintended Consequences of Technology
DESCRIPTION:<p>Writer and TED speaker Chris Ategeka and former Microsoft exec Scott Mauvais discuss how rapid change in technology is affecting society, the positive and negative impacts, and what we can do to both harness the benefits of AI and mitigate the unintended consequences.</p>

<p>As technology reshapes society, it has made our lives easier, healthier, more efficient, and more convenient. Yet these benefits often come with unintended&mdash;or willfully ignored&mdash;consequences, ranging from increased income inequality to undermining the&nbsp;key foundations of democracy.</p>

<p>After the talk, Ategeka will sign copies of his new book <a href="https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C5797898"><em>The Unintended Consequences of Technology: Solutions, Breakthroughs, and the Restart We Need</em></a></p>
