The Autonomous Revolution

The bad news is that our event is sold out. But wait, there's good news! Join us at 7 p.m. for the live stream on our Facebook and  YouTube page to watch the program live!

For the third time in the history of humanity, civilization is undergoing epic cultural transformation—a cultural phase change.

Artificial intelligence and virtual environments are creating a world of abundance in which our institutions are changing form, obey different rules, use different methods, and behave contrary to our intuition.

We are at the dawn of the Autonomous Revolution, a technological revolution as decisive as the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. In this revolution, autonomous machines will drive transformations as discontinuous as going from barter to money and markets or from wandering tribes to cities.

In their newest book, The Autonomous Revolution: Reclaiming the Future We’ve Sold to Machines, venture investor and executive Bill Davidow and journalist Mike Malone explore why increases in productivity no longer translate into growth in the GDP and how zero cost, one-to-many communications have been turned into productivity tools for cybercrime and propaganda. Davidow and Malone are joined by historian and professor David Kennedy, who will moderate a conversation about the profound implications of the autonomous revolution and the authors’ visionary solutions.

This event will be live-streamed on CHM's Facebook and YouTube pages.
