Discussion: View Thread

(apologies for cross posting):

 We would like to draw your attention to the following AOM annual meeting symposium on Management in the Age of Machine Intelligence. The details of the event are as follows:

An emerging consensus in the field of economics, management, and organizations is that the recent developments in data collection, management, and computation will dramatically transform the modern organization. Some have argued that humans will always play a unique and non-substitutable role within organizations. Others have suggested that machines will come to dominate all aspects of modern organizations, and that there are no "higher order organizational tasks" that machines cannot, in principle, handle. A diverse collection of scholars from economics, strategy, organization theory, and law will briefly present their views about how machine intelligence impacts conceptual and empirical research in their respective fields. These presentations will catalyze a moderated panel discussion and audience Q&A session. Our panel discussion attempts to synthesize these insights and push our collective thinking forward as we jointly try to divine where, precisely, are boundaries between machine intelligence and organizations...if, in fact, such boundaries even exist.
